It is true, its not a quick fix. I don't know if omega-3 would offer the quick illicit-drug like effects of most prescriptions, but I have noticed improvements after longer term supplementation.
So I know know if the design of traditional antidepressant trials would fully capture the benifit of omega-3.I would have to look at the studies which were analyzed to look for things like duration of length etc.
I think it really all depends on the particular view. I mean, one can compile data for prescription antidepressants that makes them look like miracle cures or one can compile data on prescription antidepressants that makes them look like sugar pills.
The timing seems a little questionable too. Everbody is attacking the efficacy of prescription drugs, it only seems natural that somebody would attempt to attack the efficacy alternative treatments. I wouldn't be suprised if there were alternative motives.
