Fish oil supplements 'beat psychotic mental illness'

BBC News - Fish oil supplements 'beat psychotic mental illness': "Taking a daily fish oil capsule can stave off mental illness in those at highest risk, trial findings suggest.
A three-month course of the supplement appeared to be as effective as drugs, cutting the rate of psychotic illness like schizophrenia by a quarter.
The researchers believe it is the omega-3 in fish oil - already hailed for promoting healthy hearts - that has beneficial effects in the brain.
A 'natural' remedy would be welcomed, Archives of General Psychiatry says."
