Omega-3 found in fish, has been shown to have a protective effect against depression. A diet deficient in Omega-3 may alter the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine levels, leading to depression. In addition to the cardioprotective effects, omega-3 may also prevent development of Alzheimer's disease.
However, the exact mechanism of how it may be useful in depression is not clear, and it's use in conditions like in major depression and bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) is being evaluated.
