Dr. Greg Mongeon, a doctor of Functional Medicine in Minnesota, explains how people with bipolar disorder have lower levels of omega-3 than people who do not have this condition. He also points out that anti-psychotropic medication used to treat bipolar disorder may interfere with how the brain absorbs omega-3 fatty acids, starting a vicious cycle of omega-3 deficiency. He urges people who have bipolar disorder and are omega-3 deficient to take omega-3 supplements.
