It seems that childhood and adult ADHD is an increasingly diagnosed condition in Western culture.

And in many cases drug therapy seems to work, but in others the side effects are limiting its success. So natural therapies are often sought as an alternative treatment.

And omega 3 fatty acids have come into the picture recently.

But how does omega 3 oils or fish oils relate to ADHD and its symptoms?

There has been a few medical studies on the effect of fish oil on ADD and ADHD.

One study in the UK, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study, looked at children aged between 8-12 years with both ADHD and specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia.

Treatment was either omega 3 or placebo for a period of 12 weeks.

Both "cognitive problems and general behavior problems" were significantly lower for the treatment group compared to the placebo group.

The study concluded that omega 3 benefited children with both learning difficulties and ADHD.

As we move into the future, natural remedies will be sought more and more as the side effect profile is usually low and the nutrients tend to have multiple benefits.

As well as ADHD, fish oils have helped other mental conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, and dementia.

Perhaps there is a common link between the overall ability of the brain to work well and omega 3 oils which after all is one of the major components of the brain.

So let's look out for more studies in this area of omega 3 and the brain, including ADHD.

More research usually results in more data and certainty of the effect of fish oils on the brain and its conditions such as ADHD.

So take care and keep healthy.
