  1. "Could all these illnesses including depression converge to a
    single cause?"

    Possibly, yes. But, given what you have posted, it won't be easy
    to find. (See http://sankey.ws/mcs.html for some of my background
    on this. Note: I'm not a medical doctor.)

    "To be very honest, I am sick and tired of taking medicines /
    supplements. Can I tune my diet in a way that I don't have to
    take any supplement?"

    Supplements, yes. See http://sankey.ws/dietpills.html for some
    ideas. But, I strongly recommend against discontinuing
    medications given what you have posted.

    "Also, what is the best form of eating a fish? I take fish fried
    in omega - 6 oil i.e vegetable / canola oil."

    I poach them. Water kept a bit below boiling point. Cook until
    the fish is just barely milky all the way through, then get it
    out before it loses any more nutrients or taste. Look for fresh
    or frozen cold-salt-water fish - herring is widely available
    world-wide. Fish canning processes remove a lot of nutrients.

    Note necessarily. Canning process of tuna causes losses of omega-3s, but
    other canned fish retain their omega-3s. I think that canned mackerel,
    herring and sardines are excellent choices.

    What omega-3s loss would there be in canned mackerel compared to
    fresh?

    I don't have figures at hand, but based on what I've read, I think that
    losses are very small or nil. Tuna's canning process instead generally
    causes considerable loss of omega-3, although some canned tuna manufacturers
    use process which does not lose omega-3s, but they are in minority.
    Unfortunately you cannot usually see the processing losses from the can,
    unless omega-3 content is given. If only fat content is given, you may be
    able to conclude something if tuna is packed in water.
