This very small study is primarily about schizophrenia but provides some interesting food for thought. If I'm reading this table correctly, there were the same small number of individuals who later suffered OCD in the Omega-3 group as in the placebo group. Some of the other numbers are interesting at a glance, as are the overall numbers, though it's just so small.

Thanks, this is really interesting.

 

I found a huge improvement in my DD when we started her on Omega 3s, and then even more improvement when we upped her dose of them (recommended by both Dr. Murphy and Dr. . FYI - I give her the oil in 2 doses, morning and then evening.
