"There is considerable evidence suggesting the involvement of
serotonin dysfunction in both disorders, along with an autoimmune
inflammatory process in a subgroup of children with TS and OCD.
There are also scientific data suggesting that serotonin dysfunction
is triggered by inflammatory mediators such as cytokines. Omega-3
fatty acid appears to act by down-regulation of pro-inflammatory
cytokine production and through pro-serotonergic activity, thus
addressing some of the pathways implicated in the basic causes of
TS and OCD."
