From what I've read Omega 3's help bipolars more with depression than with mania. I've been taking 10,000 mg (off and on) for a few years now, mostly of flax oil, sometimes fish oil. (The fish oil can be sort of fishy and give you fishy hearthburn and fishy breath.) I'm bipolar, but have more trouble with depression than with mania in my daily life and the flax oil does seem to help. Why not give it a try? It's good for more than just your brain and it's not very expensive.
Good luck,
Annie
