Nobody has mentioned in addition to drugs, talk therapy, food can be a lifesaver wrt depression. Specifically, I and a medical doctor had the same experience that taking fish oil, ie high quality omega 3 DHA/EPA was a lifesaver. Also getting off sugar+ is a huge change to the brain's chemical load.

DHA and EPA are fantastic, but I don't think they should be used completely in lieu of eating fish. Two servings per week will do wonders for health.

Humans are fish eaters. Always have been. Why we don't eat it in America boggles my mind but it's a big problem that doesn't get enough mention.

Could it be because we polluted our rivers and lakes around the time of the industrial revolution a century ago?
