Polyunsaturated fatty acid status in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and Alzheimer's disease: towards an omega-3 index for mental health
Nutrition Reviews, 09/29/09

Milte CM et al. – Although abnormal blood PUFA levels were reported in a number of studies, weighted comparisons of PUFA status showed no significant differences overall between people with mental health problems and controls.

Further studies assessing PUFA levels and mental status with greater uniformity are required in order to clarify the relationship between LC n–3 PUFA status and mental health.
