Comparison of therapeutic effects of omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid and fluoxetine, separately and in combination, in major depressive disorder - Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Mar 2008

Further, results were "significantly better" for patients taking a combination of omega-3 & fluoxetine than for those taking either alone.
