The potential of polyunsaturated fatty acids in alleviating depression and reducing suicide risk

Research in 'Molecular Psychiatry' explores the role of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicide risk, showing mixed results in clinical trials for depression treatment. The study underscores the need for further investigation into LC-PUFAs' neurobiology to advance personalized medicine for mood disorders and suicide prevention.
