A mother who became obsessed her children would die in freak accidents claims she cured her postnatal depression by eating a daily portion of fish, Madlen Davies writes in the MailOnline.
Melanie Lawson, 43, suffered from OCD from the age of nine, when she couldn't go to sleep without checking the curtains were closed or that nobody was hiding under the bed.

Unwilling to take antidepressants - and still suffering when her second child was born - she began searching for a natural cure.

Mrs Lawson of Brighton, East Sussex, said: 'I wanted to get better for my kids. I saw medication as a last resort and wanted to adopt a more natural approach.
