> > Not sure if this has already been posted, but OmegaBrite is a brand of omega-3 fatty acids that Dr. Andrew Stoll (Harvard Psychopharmacology Research Laboratory) helped develop. It's specifically developed for mood elevation and stabilization, and includes over 92% omega-3 per capsule, over 70% EPA and 10% DHA. It's tasteless with no cholesterol, and of pharmaceutical grade purity.

Andrew L. Stoll, M.D. is a leading researcher in bipolar disorder and omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed is a terrestrial source of a different, untested omega-3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid), and has induced hypomania in some patients. The formulation I referred to meets the ideal characteristics of an omega-3 supplement for use in affective disorders.
