Shaun’s comment: Bipolar disorder, which used to be known as manic depression, is a serious psychiatric condition, causing depression and severe mood swings. Medications and psychological treatments are the best way to control the condition. A good sleep schedule and avoiding excessive amounts of caffeine are also recommended. The results from this small study are very promising and it would be worth patients taking a fish oil supplement to see if it helps.
