Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if an eight-week intervention with omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduces depressive symptoms in symptomatic peri- and postmenopausal women. We hypothesize that an eight-week trial with omega-3 fatty acids promotes significant improvement in depression symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women.

Primary Outcome

The instrument used to measure mood at each visit was the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The MADRS is a widely used 10-item clinician-rated scale that describes the severity of depressive symptoms (range 0-60, higher score indicates greater symptom burden).
