In one group, participants will receive one pill of placebo per day, and in the other, participants will have one pill of 900mg Omega-3 fatty acid per day.

Meanwhile, the density of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA),docosahexaenoic acid (DHA),noradrenalin(NE), dopamine(DA) and serotonin(5-HT) in blood will be tested.At week 0 and week 12, 10 patients of each group will be randomly selected to have the exam of PET.
