Even had I not experienced an improvement, I was going to continue taking the fish oil for the potential long-term benefits. Mainly, I was interested in providing the brain with enough raw material to allow it to heal from the damage long-term depression can cause. Of course, there is also the benefits of enhancing cardiovascular health.

Again, though, my original motivation to take NAC was to protect and enhance the recovery of the brain. It wasn't until later that I stumbled upon the Berk study that demonstrates the efficacy of NAC in treating bipolar depression. Taking these two substances is really a "no brainer" because each serves two distinct purposes.

Very interesting. I'd like to see if that helps me as well. I believe I already have some, just haven't been diligent about taking it! How much fish oil do you take per day?
