I'm finding that borage oil works a lot better for depression than evening primrose oil, probably because it contains a higher percentage of GLA and it contains other essential fatty acids as well. Still, if you are low on omega-3s (fish or flax), you also should supplement with them as well because they do help with mood. A good balance of omega-6s and omega-3s seems optimal, at least in my case. I seem to need more borage oil than fish oil. Some sources say a 1:1 ratio is best, but I'm finding that I need a little more omega-6s than omega-3s. Everyone has different needs.
