> Hmmm...Good point. Never thought about that. Actually, I'd be curious to know of any scientific studies actually showing that people who eat lots of fatty fish have less depression/bipolar. I wonder if this is actually the case. Please if anyone is aware of any such studies I'd be grateful for such information.

I haven't seen any studies relating fish intake to bipolar, but there are studies demonstrating relationship between fish intake and depression. For some unknown reason, the effect is more robust in women. Moreover, the effect is non-linear, with higher intakes leading to diminished benefit. That suggests a threshold vulnerability, with declining numbers of people on the below-threshold value side of the normal distribution as the intake level increases. At higher intakes, only those with high standard deviations from the norm still exhibit the vulnerability.
