My pdoc has always been one to try the natural supplements especially when for me, all the others caused horrible side effects that were really bad (the parkinson's symptoms were the worst).

He has been doing some research on the effects of OMEGA3 on depression & gave me a lot of findings to read. Everything I read about it was that is was also so good for all the other parts of the body, that even if it didn't work for the depression, it was going to be a good thing. The theraputic dosage for depression requires 2000+mg of the EPA omega 3. The DHA has less effect on depression. I looked at different brands, & it would take at least 8-10 tablets a day to get a therpautic dose. I looked on the internet & found one brand that it extra high on the EPA & only takes 2 capsuls a day to get the required amount.

I have been taking the OMEGA 3 for about 3 months now. I don't know if that is what is working, but my depression level has never been lower for 13 years. It could be the move to KY that is helping the depression, or probably both. I can truely say, that this supplement is great for the heart, & every other aspect of the body, so I feel much healther taking this also...let alone mentally feeling better.

I realize it doesn't help much with anxiety however. That is still a curse I am dealing with. Wish it worked as well for the anxiety as it does for the depression.

Just wondering is anyone else is using the OMEGA3....EPA/DHA for their treatment of depression.
