Omega-3 fatty acid/fish oil?

Anyone had any luck taking this supplement to treat depression? I recently heard this helps. Any personal feedback about this vitamin and people who had it work for them?

I suffer from depression and I have been taking this supplement for some time but i have not noticed it helping my depression not to say that it can not though. I do know that it is suppose to be great in helping your body build defenses against cancers and other diseases. I hope your depression gets better soon~

This is not usually for depression it is used for high cholesterol.

I have heard of it being used by people who have Bipolar disorder. There is not much concrete information on the success. many people feel it helps and some don't. the bad thing about it is you have to take high doses and it gives you that fish after taste. (it comes in gel caps).

This is for cholesterol lowering.
