DHA is also good for depression right?If you take a rather typical fish oil, you'll get about 2/3 of a gram of DHA for every gram of EPA. I was basing the EPA dose on the best available study, which showed the maximum antidepressant effect at about 1 gram EPA/day. I consider the effect of the DHA to be a bonus.
