At desperate deadlocked life, a person can be desperate to do anything including suicide. In order for depression and suicidal thoughts can be controlled, researchers advised to consume a lot of fish oil.
In the depression, omega 3 fatty acids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fish oil can relieve allegedly suicidal ideation. Although not yet confirmed a causal relationship, but people who kill themselves usually lack the two essential nutrients.
It is proven in a US study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry recently. In that study, researchers conducted observations of some cases killed committed suicide retired military or veterans.
Compared
to surviving veterans, veterans who commit suicide have been observed levels of DHA and omega 3 fatty acids lower. Based on the analysis, the levels of DHA and omega 3 fatty acids associated with increased risk of suicide by up to 62 percent.
In conclusion, the scientists did not openly suggest that veterans increase the consumption of fish oil in order not to get depressed. But admittedly, fish oil and the contents in it most likely has psychoactive effects.
Several previous studies did show, omega 3 fatty acids in the form of supplements as well as in fish oils and nuts have benefits for psychiatric mental health. Just to relate to the prevention of suicide, still need further research.
The high rate of suicide among US military is a separate issue, both of which occurred in the veteran and the authorities are still active. In 2010 for example, there were approximately 159 cases of suicide committed by officers who are still on active duty.
"I really hope in this kind of research, because I was really looking for something as a solution," said Peter Chiarelli, one of the military officials in the United States, as quoted by USA Today,
