It works for some, not for others!. There's a fair amount of research supporting that 1-2 grams of the EPA ingredient does help alleviate depression!. A lot of ppl who say it doesn't help are not taking anywhere near this dose!.
Here's a recent study concluding that it's as effective as low dose Prozac!. (PubMed is the National Institute of Health's repository of peer reviewed scientific research!. It's not flaky Internet advertisement claims!.)

I've been taking fish oil for about 6 months and yes I think it does alleviate depression!. Other things to consider are brain foods since depression seems to offset your mental capacity!. Try vitamin C, green tea, a balance of protein (meats, nuts, etc), stay away from burgers/frieds etc and exercise even if just a walk!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Omega oils are essential for heart and brain function!. It is far stretching to think this would help alleviate depression!. If you are looking for a natural herb for depression try St!. John's Wart!. You will not feel the effects for about 8 weeks because it has to build up in your system and remember if you go to the Dr!. for anything make sure to tell them you taking it because it can react with other drugs!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
I also agree it is good for brain function,but if there is a mood disorder you would need to address that,by medication serotonin enhancer and i found 5-HTP to be a good supplement but if can not be mixed with other antidepressant!.i would find a good doctor,but i would continue omega unless there is a interaction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
