Hello,
With the question “Is Omega 3 used for people with depression and migraine headaches?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
People with depression and migraine can still use omega 3 safely. Although not fully researched, omega 3 may offer certain benefits to users such as reducing the frequency of headaches and helping with depression. However, omega 3 is not a drug, only a supportive treatment, so it cannot be a substitute for conventional drugs.
If you still have questions about omega 3, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
