Research appearing in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology (2006; 26(6): 661-665) looked at the effect omega-3 fatty acids on anxiety. Twenty-four subjects with a history of substance abuse and anxiety disorders participated in this small, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Over a period of three months the subjects were given either a placebo or a supplement containing EPA and DHA. The group receiving the supplementation progressively scored lower on questionnaires evaluating anxiety. The group receiving the placebo enjoyed no such decline.
