Omega 3 Oils
 

There have been some studies that show that Omega 3 oils which are found in fish can be helpful for depression and Bipolar disorders, as well as schizophrenia, dementia, heart disease, and other problems. Research is still in process, so caution must be used, and there are anecdotal reports of mania in some children and teens. Omega 3 oils are available in capsules from many sources including Nordic Naturals and even an orange flavored gel called Coromega. For more information the see the book  The Omega-3 Connection: The Groundbreaking Anti-depression Diet and Brain Program by Andrew Stoll MD
