Just wanted to add something. This is almost exactly one year later and I am still on Omega 3 (fish oil). But I can now definitely say it didn't come close to meeting my expectations in dealing with depression.

Actually the anti-d I was on had virtually stopped working and I was experiencing awful depressions, writing dark poetry, crying spells, nightmares, etc. I had no pdoc, he quit and moved and I didn't know that I was erroneously booted from the state system I had been in for 11 years, so didn't go back there until late April of this year!

Anyway, this March I finally ended up in the psych ward. I was so very fortunate to be, 63 days later (that's a whole other topic about the ineptness of the mental health system), put on a med that is working.

But as an added note, the fish oil caused my cholesterol reading to go from 234 to 145! At least it's good for something.
