And it hasn't helped with my depression. Two, Do you recommend any particular brand? On the back of my bottle it says: natural fish oil concentrate 2000mg containing EPA 360 mg and DHA 240 mg. Whereas two tablets are 1000mg of fish oil. Does look like a good one?

> KatiaThe best dose of fish oil for depression seems to be around 1g (1,000mg) of EPA but some benefit from a higher dose.
