I asked “what supplements treat schizophrenia”

This is the answer I got.

There are some supplements that may help with schizophrenia symptoms, but they are not a substitute for professional medical advice and treatment. According to some sources²³, some of the supplements that may help are:

  • Sarcosine, an amino acid derivative that may improve positive and negative symptoms
  • N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), an antioxidant that may improve working memory
  • Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, that may protect the brain from inflammation and oxidative stress
  • Glycine, another amino acid that may reduce symptoms by enhancing brain function

However, these supplements may have side effects or interactions with other medications, so you should consult your doctor before taking them. Do you have any specific questions about these supplements?

Hello, this is Bing. I found some information about antipsychotic side effects that you might find useful. Antipsychotics are divided into two groups: typical (or first-generation) and atypical (or second-generation). Both groups have common side effects such as sedation, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, dizziness and postural hypotension ¹. However, atypical antipsychotics also have some serious side effects such as diabetes, weight gain, metabolic syndrome, stroke risk and sudden cardiac death ¹. The severity and frequency of these side effects vary depending on the individual drug and dose. There is no definitive answer to which antipsychotic has the least side effects, as different people may respond differently to different drugs. Therefore, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting or changing any medication. They can help you weigh the benefits and risks of each option and find the best one for you ².

I read that is enough…
Brain is made of amino acids dha, and in sz case, there is always less than in normal person.
I asume you take 180/120 gel capsules.
Although the brain is made of dha, epa intake is what counts, bc it transformes to dha in brain.
