I'm not disputing that omega-3 oils have helped you nor am I disputing that it may help many others too. All I'm saying is that a good balanced diet is the best way to go *IF* we could really get what we need from foods. Unfortunately, few of us can find foods that provide us with what we need. And I'm assuming that that a good diet is more a maintenence thing to keep us healthy rather than to 'cure' us - we'd need to be already physically sound to begin with (which few of us really are).
Heck, I take lipid supplements myself - flax oil & fish oils because I don't think we can get all we need from our diet & because my appetite isn't that big any more. I couldn't eat enough. But I want to make sure I keep my diet good & don't rely just on supplements for my nutritional needs. I've seen too many people with absolutely crappy diets think they can keep healthy by popping some extra vitamins & such. But if you're concerned about your health, mental & otherwise, you probably already do eat good.
