I chose to do my article critique on fish oils, mental health and depression. In the beginning I chose this topic because it seemed to be a very interesting subject, but by the time I was done, it turned out to be very helpful in my personal life. Dr. Barbara Levine, a professor of Nutrition at Cornell University believes that due to low DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) intake, one can develop postpartum depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and a low IQ. Also, it has been shown that low DHA intake is linked to an increase in depression, suicide, and violence. There is said to be a large amount of DHA in marine phytoplankton, and cold-water fish.
