Hi, I have OCD and depression.
A doctor advice (Dr O Ed Neal?) me to take 5-10g of fish oils to combat the depressiona and OCD.
So I took 5000 mg of EPA and DHA (fish oils) and in a week, my depression was completely lifted. It is true. My conclusion is that fish oil effectively treats depression. There have been other reports of fish oils been used effectively to treat depression and OCD.
I just wish to share my own testimony as another successful case report of treating depression with fish oil. As for my OCD, I've improved a bit more but I'm not sure whether it's due to the addition of fish oils to my prozac or due to the augmentation of clonazepam at night.
I'm using the concentrated high form 1000 mg of capsule contains 500 mg EPA and 300 DHA. It's the amount of EPA and DHA in the capsule that matters, not the weight of the capsule.
3000-4000 g of EPA+DHA does not work in many cases. You need AT LEAST 5000 mg of EPA+DHA.
THANK YOU "Ed O Neal hearty?" doctor for your saving advice! I appreciate it greatly.
God bless
