In reply to Studies:NSAIDS for depression (inflammation theory, posted by mtom on April 25, 2019, at 9:33:19
The good news is that it is pretty easy to test the theory (i.e. to see if your depression is responsive to a reduction in inflammation).
You can see if your mood responds to anti-inflammatory medications. I would caution against aspirin (unless doctor supervised) since SSRIs and aspirin can synergistically thin the blood.
The omega-3s have significant anti-inflamatory effects and have been shown to augment standard anti-depressant medications. Diet can reduce inflamation too, i.e. reduce sugar, eat inflamation reducing foods.
