I have suffered from mild depression to severe depression for a good 25 years. Over the last couple of years, my meds seemed to have stopped working so I decided to check in to holistic supplements and other alternative treatments. I was fortunate enough to run into a doctor working in a local natural health pharamacy. Told her the quick version of my story and what I was looking for. She asked me if I had ever had my Vitamin D levels checked. She told me that if Vit D levels are deficient, depression meds or supplements are not going to be of any help.

I sat on that info for a bit, did some research and then finally decided to go to the Doc and get my Vit D levels checked. Sure enough, my levels were really low. I started taking Vit D tabs about a month ago. Unfortunately, it takes a few months for the Vit D to kick in so I don't know yet how helpful this will be. Sometimes I think I can feel a slight shift in my mood change, but it's really too early to tell.

Anyone else had an experience with Vit D? Helpful or no?

I wonder how many of us in this forum may have a Vit D deficiency affecting our mental health. Here's a good link to check it all out: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...n-d-deficiency
