Indeed, The DHA can actually help activate vitamin D receptor (as does curcumin) but in practice EPA is tends to be more effective for helping depression. As in general you can't get one without the other I don't worry too much providing the TOTAL EPA + DHA comes to at least 2g 2000mg daily at least initially. Do be quite firm/insistant about taking omega 3 if you suspect anyone you care about is potentially suicidal. When I get home (on holiday at the moment so not near my own pc) I'll link to the papers on self harm and omega 3. It really is a lot more important and potentially life saving than most people realise.
