Omega-3 fatty acids are involved in biochemical pathways that decrease the inflammation and are associated with a reduction in depression.

The body is unable to produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own. Since they are an essential fat, they are required for survival. The foods we eat provide us with the omega-3 fatty acids we require.

The synthesis of chemicals and substances associated with inflammation, such as inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines, can be decreased by omega-3 fatty acids.

It was shown that the prostaglandin hormones that cause inflammation are produced by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is inhibited by omega-3 fatty acids.

It has been discovered that omega-3 fatty acids have antidepressant effects in people with major depressive disorder as defined by the DSM (MDD).
