Just unrealScientific study shows fish oil can stop you from becoming schizophrenc ?
If by unreal you mean not validated, then yes.





To be certain, any early intervention treatment for schizophrenia would be a good thing. That said, there are some issues that need to be addressed with the study you've linked. First off, the study is only a pilot study. It's far from showing that an effect will be seen in the general population. It also uses a very select sample - Ultra-High Risk - which is somewhat subjectively defined (at least clinically). Whether these results would carry to lower risk individuals has yet to be shown. Second, the study doesn't appear to have been formally published. Without publication in a peer reviewed journal, the study will not be given heavy scrutiny.





So don't go drowning yourself in fish oil yet :)
