Fist of all. I am not suggesting that omega fatty acids alone will cure you. It is a combination of things, but providing your brain with essentials is CRITICAL. I am very well experienced with depression and anxiety, I know the hell a person can bury themselves in quite well.

I also know that you are speculating by suggesting that people suffering from depression are maintaining excellent nutrition. Speaking from my experience and those around me, I was not eating properly, and neither were the people close to me. You are living in a personal dark hell filled with desperation, despair, and worry. The last thing on your mind is: "Am I getting the essential omega 3 count in my brain."

As I said previously, start with the plumbing first. Then begin to address the other factors. I guarantee that if you dose with fish oil in the morning, and flax seed oil at night, or throughout the day, you are going to feel much better, simply because your brain will have what it needs to manage itself, and because omega fatty acids function as an anti inflammatory to your neurological anatomy.

You can't run a car engine without oil, and equally, you cannot run a brain without the proper nutrition.
