Omega-3 Fatty Acid and Vitamin D for depression
01 May 2025 by Ted Escobedo 1 min read
Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D are two nutrients that your body needs to thrive. Fish oil supplements are a popular way to get omega-3s, and getting adequate sunlight exposure can help boost your vitamin D levels.
Researchers are not sure why omega-3 and vitamin D improve bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, and impulsive behavior. However, what is known is that omega-3 and vitamin D are needed for serotonin regulation, which affects brain function and may contribute to improved symptoms in mental health conditions.
The best natural mood stabilizer depends on your symptoms and needs. Everyone is different, and people respond differently to both prescription medications and natural treatments.
When you’re considering a natural mood stabilizer, think about your symptoms, preferences, overall health, and what fits into your lifestyle. Your primary care provider or a psychiatrist can be a trusted source of information and recommendations.
