"Omega-Brite for Bipolar"
 
   Hello,
Has anyone tried high-dose Omega-Brite fish oil for their kids? Two psychiatrists have told me that a new study is out that says high doses of Omega-Brite has been shown to help Bipolar & ADHD kids. Did it work for you? What dose did you use?

Thx,
Me - age 34, Bipolar Type II, take Zoloft currently
DH - no issues
DS Pookie - age 5, ADHD & Mood Disorder-NOS
DS Bubba - age 2.5, no issues

Mother to boys Mason (5 year old son with Mood Disorder-NOS & ADHD) and Jordan (2.5 years)

   The omegas are neuroprotective meaning that they will help your kids brain cells to stay healthy. That's important becuase this illness takes a real toll on the connections and functioning of the brain. I don't think it's the type of thing that will have measurable results but my kid's doctor recommends it also...and I have A LOT of confidence in him. Quite honestly, your whole family should take them. They have lots of health benefits. The only down side is the cost. We take three Omega Brites.

   We had high hopes that it would work for our 8 yr old -- but it actually "activated" him more! It made him more aggressive! So we are off for now.
