Most people know that adults need to work to maintain their mental health but few realize mental health is important in kids, too. While some think that childhood is entirely a feel-good time, it’s actually the case that about one in five children have a mental health challenge. In fact, millions of American children struggle with depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, Tourette syndrome and many other mental health concerns.

An experiment, which included about 200 school children from Sweden, demonstrated that after taking capsules of Omega3/6 and making changes in their diets, children with mild attention problems showed great improvement.
