    Fish Oils

    Not sure if this is 100% natural but anyway.......

    I have been reading a book called "healing without freud or prozac" which is very good by the way. The author gives a few examples of how fish oils (omega 3) have helped people with anxiety and depresion. I'm sure they have been mentioned on here a few times before but I just wanted to let you know how I got on with them personally. I wanted to start straight away so I went to Holland and Barrett bought the highest strength possible (cost £9 for 100 tablets), I take one tablet 3 times a day and since I have been I haven't had a single symptom!! I have also been in situations where normally anxiety would take over but not even a hint of it. I'm not sure how long this will last but i'm enjoying it while it does and I would recommend it to anyone with anxiety and or depression if they havent tried it already. Omega 3's also have great benefits with regards to your heart and circulation.

    [Wow!] how great is that!! I take Cod Liver oil in the mornings but haven't noticed an effect that positive. Maybe I should go out and buy the expensive stuff!!

    Its not cod liver oil, mine were from Holland and Barrett, EPA Fish Oil 1200mg. There are a lot of Fish Oils available the most important ingredient you need is EPA, a lot of them have DHA which doesnt really help anxiety its more for the heart and circualtion. These are the ones I am on

    I believe there will be stronger tablets available on the internet when I run out I'll look into it further

    I must have bought mine before the sale, good spotting Vernon, i'll be getting some of those I think especially as the EPA content is higher.
