In this episode of Daily Value, we explore the potential of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, as an adjunctive therapy for reducing anxiety symptoms. A recent meta-analysis (PMID: 38890670) reviewed 23 randomized controlled trials involving over 2,100 participants, revealing that a certain amount of omega-3s per day can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms, especially when combined with traditional treatments like antidepressants.
Talking points:
- Anxiety disorders: what are they and how many people have them?
- Fish oil benefits for anxiety disorders
- Effective dosage of omega-3 fatty acids for reducing anxiety symptoms.
