> There is a report on a clinical study of fish-oil in depression in the latest issue of Archives of General Psychiatry. Sorry I don't have the reference.

Here's the link (paste it all into one line):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12365878&dopt=Abstract

The most effective dose was equivalent to 5-6 grams/day of fish oil. Fish oil also has DHA, so there may be other beneficial effects seen with fish oil not seen with pure EPA.

>My psychiatrist was impressed enough to suggest fish-oil for me. He's a hardcore psychopharmacologist and generally poo-poos "natural" remedies.

This is food concentrate. Not conceptually much different than molasses. Food concentrate for the brain.
