I haven't decided one way or another really. But, given what we know about the brain, how it works and how it requires essential fatty acids, I will take fish oil regardless.

I've tried high DHA and thought perhaps it had a detrimental effect. So then I tried high EPA and thought that that too had a detrimental effect to my mood. What to do, what to do?? ;)

I think it's complicated by not only EPA/DHA ratio, but the amount. One gram seems to be the minimum, but some studies have been of much more than that. One study, otoh, showed greater efficacy with less rather than more.

I just keep experimenting in the hopes that one day I will stumble on what's best for me.
