[Update 1/2004: a statistical study also recently showed fish-eating countries have lower bipolar rates than those where fish is not common in the diet.Noaghiul Another study looked at whether patients with bipolar disorder have lower omega-3 levels than "healthy controls", and found ir lower DHA but ir not EPA levels in their blood cell walls.

Note in the table below that some studies using just one or the other have not shown benefit, so for now we'd have to conclude that if omega-3's really work in bipolar disorder, you may need to use a source that contains both. |
