> In order to get a therapeutic response, how much EFA would I have to take and for how long? Also is there any evidence that this might help with social phobia?

In the Massachusetts General Study, (Sachs), - 6.2 grams of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) plus 3.4 grams of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) were used for four months with good mood stabilizing results in bipolar disorder. I am trying it now and have to take 24-25 of the salmon oil capsules that I have daily in order to get that high of a dose. My pDocs approve even though more clinical trials need to be completed.

P.S. I don't know about the social phobia
