Vitamin/supplements to help with mental illness?

I have major depression, generalized anxiety (pretty severe lately), borderline personality disorder, and bipolar II. My health insurance co. has a hotline to call for medical advice. I spoke with them and asked about a specific vitamin regimen that may be helpful to me. I did not want to go to a health food store because I wanted MEDICAL advice. I was advised as to the B’s – B 12, zinc, folic acid, etc, and also Omega-3 fatty acid/fish oil. Does anyone have any information on these in respect to mental disorders?

Any one uses Omega 3 fatty acids or Fish oil for mental health?

Anybody got benefit from taking MAXEPA (Omega 3 fatty acids)? Any evidence/experience of it in the use of Bipolar, GAD, OCD & Depression? Any double blind placebo controlled trails done? Where can I get more information?
