Dear GM,
Yes I believe this theory holds ground.
However, do you also know you need to take fish oil longer than 6 months before it will become really effective?
I read a study on this whether fish oil would help people with depression. Several studies were done. Some of only a few months - finding no improvement. Another of 6 months - finding no improvement. But when they studied the effects for longer than 6 months, they found much improved depressed people. The latter was a Swedish study (if my memory serves me right).
Fish oil is beneficially for me too - I take 6 grams daily (but a blend of fish oils - not just salmon). And the relation EPA/DHA needs to be right. The capsules include Vit. E. too. Besides that I, indeed, do take omega 6 (evening primrose oil), only 500 mg/day.
Why don't you take high dose magnesium with the fish oil? I find this works instantly against anxiety. For this purpose I take 1000 grams/day (and ofcourse 75 mg Seroquel + 1 or 2 Ativan to help me sleep).
Hope this info is of help to you.
Love,
Maria
