Anti-inflammatories for depression?

I was reading over this article when I came across the first item on the list. (Several relevant links are embedded in the article itself.) I have noticed that whenever I take an OTC painkiller with anti-inflammatory properties, I feel a little better in terms of my mood. So I asked my psychiatrist about this. She said that the studies are in their preliminary experimental stages, but nothing has yet been FDA approved. She said that if I'm interested, I should look up a clinical trial of anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment of mental illness, although I'm not entirely sure how to do that. The other factor is obviously proper diet. Certain foods increase inflammation while others decrease it. I already know about the alleged benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary changes are something I can do on my own, but I want to make sure I'm doing it the right way, and that I'm not chasing down another dead end.



Does anyone know anything about the use of anti-inflammatories to treat mental illness?
