I must admit I was fighting depression before I got fissure, but when I got infection and received those horrible antibiotics that killed my gut and when I did not know that horrible pain in the lower abdomen comes from fissure, I was extremely low. I developed enormous fear from taking any medications and was deeply depressed. I searched for some literature to help me act against depression and read a book Healing Without Freud or Prozac by Dr.David Servan Schreiber .
It is a wonderful book, the author was not only educated in medicine and psichiatry but obviously intelligent and good person free from prejudice and big pharma, who wanted to help people.
The book gave me hope to find some solution as I will never try anti depressants again.
So I started taking fish oil in capsules. Fish oil should be high with eikosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and low with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA.) I take Ultimate EPA 450 mg EPA 50 mg DHA 2 caps/day (sometimes i take only one) and I must say I noticed improvement. The dosage mentioned in Servan Schreiber book is 1000 mg EPA/day.
I found some positive reviews and expieriences from users which I think are not just producers advertising.
And fish oil has other benefits too, it is good against inflammation. BUt it is important to be high with EPA
