Ellen, I'm sorry it didn't come through. I'm trying again. If it doesn't reach

you, send me your e-mail address and i will send it to your personal e-mail.

The conclusion was that omega-3 fatty acids may have therapeutic benefits in

childhood depression. The study was published in the American Journal of

Psychiatry 163:1098-1100, June 2006. If you google " Omega 3 Treatment of

Childhood Depression: A Controlled, Double-Blind Pilot Study " you should see the

citation.

OBJECTIVE: Major depressive disorder in children may be more common than

previously thought, and its therapeutics are unclear. Because of success in a

previous study on omega-3 fatty acids in adult major depressive disorder, the

authors planned a pilot study of omega-3 fatty acids in childhood major

depression. METHOD: Children who entered the study were between the ages of 6

and 12. Ratings were performed at baseline and at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks

using Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS), Children's Depression Inventory

(CDI), and Clinical Global Impression (CGI). Children were randomized to omega-3

fatty acids or placebo as pharmacologic monotherapy. Twenty-eight patients were

randomized, and 20 completed at least 1 month's ratings. RESULTS: Analysis of

variance showed highly significant effects of omega-3 on symptoms using the

CDRS, CDI, and CGI. CONCLUSIONS: Omega-3 fatty acids may have therapeutic

benefits in childhood depression.
