Fish Oil Helps Depression
Talk with your friends and family if you are feeling depressed. A positive attitude and exercise may assist in your recovery. Exercise increases your level of endorphins, which are your body's natural anti-depressant. Also, try taking a fish oil supplement, like CVS/pharmacy Fish Oil soft gel tablets, to increase positive chemicals in your brain. The omega-3 fatty acids in Fish Oil may help to raise the levels of serotonin in your brain. Low serotonin levels have been linked to depression and other mood imbalances. Talk to your healthcare provider before starting any medication or supplement. This information is brought to you by The Doctors Prescription for Health, sponsored by CVS/pharmacy.

Any ideas?

Author Michael Murray, ND, a leading naturopath and coauthor of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, delves very deeply to explain the hows and whys of depression at the neurotransmitter level, and the illustrations of presynaptic membranes may be a bit much for the lay reader. There are also several sections with intimidating titles along the lines of "Enhancing 5-HTP with Catecholamine Precursors." But the book's comprehensiveness makes up for its occasional denseness. Murray includes enlightening sections on nutrition for peak serotonin synthesis, other complementary herbal supplements, and many online and physical sources for obtaining 5-HTP. --Erica Jorgensen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
