I've read that DHA exerts a more structural effect in its actions, wherase EPA is a more hormonal effect.
DHA feels more like a mood stabilizer to me in how it acts.
What I have found (personally) is that lower doses are better. I don't take multiple grams of it. 500mg of DHA and 500mg of EPA is plenty.
Actually, as mentioned, I respond better to high DHA products.
Lithium works in part by increasing the levels of a DHA metabolite.
Also, DHA can increase the seizure threshold in experimentally induced seizures.
