Until my diagnosis, I hadn&#39;t done anything for my depression. I just thought it was something I had to deal with...and my family didn&#39;t know anything about psychiatry, not that I told them about my problems anyway. That&#39;s all changed now. I am on meds for bipolar, but I take 4 grams of Fish Oil per day...my psych doc actually recommended it - he&#39;s a good one! And since adding that, I&#39;ve felt a lot better. I wish I could say that it was just the fish oil that made me better...I believe it does for some people. But since my bipolar is quite severe, I&#39;ve come to accept that my meds are important too...difficult as that was. I&#39;m definitely on some of the best though, which makes a big difference. Thanks! </p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=219249" width="1" height="1">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/11/02/depression-fish-oil.aspx#200862Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:29:27 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:200862fojerbachas<p>very good article!</p> <p>i started using fish oil liquid few days ago and allreader can see some changes in my mood: i feel more calm, relaxes. i take 2 tablespoons daily: in the morning and in the afternoon.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=200862" width="1" height="1">
