I believe omega-3 is a useful adjunct to the standard treatment for bipolar.I would not be happy to tell a patient to come off medication though and use omega-3 only.It is possible to have your omega-3 (and other essential fatty acids) measured by a blood test sent to certain labs.If somebody has bipolar I think they should consider visiting the Pfeiffer Center in Chicago (www.hriptc.org). They get a good response there in more than half the cases by doing blood,urine and hair tests followed by the addition of natural nutrients to their medication.Later the pdoc may be in a position to reduce the medication.I have some more details on omega-3 in www.omega3.20megsfree.com
