Fish oil dosage for depression?

How much fish oil should you take for depression? Amanda Rose, Ph.D., explains how much to take and, perhaps more importantly, how to read the label of a fish oil bottle to determine if you are getting enough of the right kind of oil. Research tells us that it may be effective in relieving depression, but the devil's in the details.

Do you know if its possible to beat depression without medication at all? I want to get off my medicine, im not severely depressed, but i am down quite a bit.

@Bulby93 You need to work a professional on this issue. Definitely don't just stop the medication.

"Additional omega-3 fatty acid supplements may be helpful for people with depression, but don’t exceed 3 grams per day, as this increases risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and stomach upset." Harvard Mental Health Letter: October 2011, published by Harvard Health Publications

With some minimal video editing you could make this look a lot more professional. Play around and give it a try, it will soften up some of the awkward pauses

I've just begun addressing my depression with dietary supplements and changes to my diet about a week ago, and I already feel like I'm enjoying life for the first time. This video answered exactly what I wanted to know, and I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of your book, which I just bought off Amazon. Thank you so much for making this information available!

By the way, I read that you should buy fish oil that's undergone "molecular distillation" to ensure it's not contaminated with mercury.

I'm currently suffering from depression, and out of the blue my dad offered me one of his fish oil pills. Two hours later I was definitely in a brighter mood, and my brain just felt "clearer", can't find any other word for it. I didn't know of its mental benefits beforehand so I'm certain it wasn't a placebo effect. Still taking it, and it makes a huge difference in my ADHD and depression.

@RebuildfromDepressio what was the name of the fish oil that you were pointing out in the video the one that you said has a high dose of epa ? if you could let me know pls thank you .

[RebuildfromDepressio]

@kgrahambuster That's in the recommended range. More would probably be better but I know that at some point it's a budget-buster.
