“…Conclusion: Although the currently available clinical evidence seems promising, it is highly recommended to accomplish larger, long-term, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials with a prospective design in order to derive conclusive results as to whether omega-fatty acids could act as a co-treatment agent or even as protective factors against bipolar disorder symptomatology. Drug design strategies could be developed to derive novel synthetic omega-3 fatty acids analogs, which could be tested for their potential to attenuate the severity of BD episodes and symptoms.…”
