If you take prescription medication for depression, this news is worth knowing. According to Cleveland Clinic Wellness: “More than 40 clinical studies on people with depression have shown that supplementing with fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids can substantially boost the effectiveness of antidepressant medication. It appears that the magic is in the omega-3s; research into whether fish oil alone relieves depression yielded conflicting results. If you have ever been diagnosed with depression, talk with your doctor about adding a high-quality fish-oil supplement to your daily regimen.”

Switching to an anti-inflammatory diet may help, too — lots of veggies and whole foods — and regular exercise is also a well-known way to alleviate depression.
