I see that my comment came across as snarky. I guess the point I was trying to make was that the results of clinical trials treating humans with antidepressants make me more confident of their impact on depression and anxiety than studies on mouse models using behavioral readouts that may or may not map perfectly on the subjective human experience of anxiety and depression. Again, I don’t doubt anyone who takes omega 3s and experiences an improvement in anxiety and depression! That seems great!
I guess a further refinement here would be that depression and anxiety are clinical terms for what are likely a range of conditions, some of which can be addressed using omega 3 supplements and some of which can’t (like mine).
