Personally I think fish oil works for some people because it has an anti-inflammatory action. This is not just because I believe that inflammation causes depression. You see the main 'good' fatty acids in fish oil are DHA and EPA. Of the two, only EPA seems to be effective in reducing depression. I don't think it's a coincidence that of the two, EPA is also the only one that reduces inflammation.
