In honor of Veterans Day I’m highlighting a clinical
trial that is being conducted at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, SC.
This study, known as The Better Resiliency Among Veterans With Omega-3’s (BRAVO) Study, aims to find out whether omega-3 supplements can help counteract the kind of negative thoughts and feelings that may lead to suicide attempts. Men and women age 18-90 are eligible to participate.
It would be wonderful if something as simple and accessible as omega-3 would help veterans who are struggling with depression, so let’s hope this study will yield positive results.
