Eating a portion of fish a day could ward off depression, scientists believe.
Studies involving more than 150,000 people found that a high fish diet lowers the risk of becoming depressed by around 17 per cent. For men it was even higher, cutting the likelihood by 20 per cent.
Nearly one in five people in Britain suffers from the condition, according to the most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics.
Those who were divorced or separated were more likely to have symptoms of mild to moderate mental ill health, with 27 per cent showing signs of the conditions, compared to 20 per cent of those who were single, cohabiting or widowed.
