Mood Changes and Depression
The impact of vitamin D on mood and mental health is profound, with deficiencies often linked to changes in mood and increased risk of depression. Several studies have found that low levels of vitamin D are associated with depression, particularly in older adults. Vitamin D receptors in the brain play a key role in mood regulation and brain function, suggesting that sufficient levels of this vitamin are crucial for psychological health. Therefore, addressing vitamin D deficiency could be a vital component of mental health management and therapy.
