food/supplements for bipolar

Hello 🙂 anyone have any recommendations on this front? I have heard (and been trying but it's too early to say (and i'm on a mood stabaliser atm)) omega-3 is supposed to be good, as well as siberian gingseng. here are some links i've found. https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2018-02-15/what-are-the-health-benefits-of-omega-3/9446528, https://www.everydayhealth.com/bipolar-disorder/the-five-worst-foods-for-bipolar-disorder.aspx, https://www.webmd.com/bipolar-disorder/guide/bipolar-diet-foods-to-avoid#1, https://www.healthline.com/health/bipolar-disorder/foods-for-mania-and-depression, https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323291.php, http://www.ibpf.org/blog/how-food-changed-bipolar-disorder-me. i know good diet is good for mental health overall but i've had a good diet all my life and have just developed bipolar over the past few years (i'm 23). Cheers, Jenn 🙂
