Depression is the common cold of psychiatric illness. It affects millions of people to varying degrees. It has a predisposition to attack its ‘victims’ without any apparent reason, albeit current research supports the credo that complex psychological, environmental, and biochemical changes could trigger and also ‘engender,’ the initial mood swing. Conventional medications do not provide long-lasting results; they are also not free of side-effects in the long run. Marine dietary supplements, like tyrosine, shellfish and fish oils, offer a rich therapeutic armamentarium for depression and other emotional illnesses with more than a degree of safety. It is time their healthy, therapeutic armamentarium in the area of maintenance of health and emotional balance, aside from the treatment of depression and other emotional illnesses are researched further and given their due.
Keywords: Emotional disorders, depression, conventional medicine, marine dietary supplements, tyrosine, shellfish, fish oils
