    I don't know much about them curing depression, but i do take them for concentration and i do find that i am more upbeat about things lately. That could be down to any number of factors though, I honestly don't know if it's down to them at all. My concentration has improved though!

    Hope you start feeling better soon.

    Yeah, I've been taking them for a good while and they certainly help with concentration and alertness, not sure that they would help with depression though, may need an anti-d for that.

    If you are feeling a bit depressed due to stress, unhealthy lifestyle etc, I'm sure they might be used as an aid to speed your recovery.

    If you are suffering from actual depression - then no...no they are not going to "cure" it.

    Heard great reports of Omega 3, although I haven't taken them yet. After this, I've been reminded!

    I've been diagnosed with severe depression. I started taking Eskimo Brainsharp in January, and I've had great improvements in my mood since then. This particular brand has excellent-quality fats from deep-sea fish, and a 5ml spoon of it gives what Patrick Holford (expert nutritionist) recommends.


    It's about €35 for a bottle that will last almost 3 months, so it's well worth it.

    I had no idea Omega 3 had a use against depression, I take it twice a day for blood pressure.

    patrick holford is the bigest quack thats been around in a long time.
    these fellas use made up science to prove them selves right
    eating good healthy foods wont harm you and will do you good but you wouldnt want to listen to the crap that comes from these fellas
    do a search on patrick holford bad science
    he actually has a diploma awarded to him by an institute he set up himself

    I take omega oils (Udo's choice) for my MS, I know a few friends take them for other resons, including depression. They are not a cure, but help a little .
