I'm 64, I've been a vegetarian for about 40 years, I've been diagnosed with dysthmyia, I've had two major depressive episodes, and I take Prozac.

A few months ago I discovered there is some research linking fish oil to both heart issues and depression; the three omegas in fish oil apparently aren't available in other forms (flax, for example, just has two, and the studies re heart and depression involve all three). Sorry, don't remember the specifics, but worth googling. Good luck.
