I have suffered from depression since my preteen years. And I don't mean the blues, I mean debilitating depression - like - can't get out of bed depression. I am on two anti-depressants that are very helpful, but its always there - in the background. I recently had a checkup where the doctor did a lot of bloodwork because I have been drinking too much. Results come back everything normal except D deficiency. I assumed that was because of the alcohol. I had been looking for an excuse to try out a tanning salon and this was it. Holy Crap, I walked out of there feeling great. I had no idea that there was any relation between D and depression, I just noticed how great I felt all the sudden. I've been back to the tanning salon once and have started 1000 IU of D3 a day and I can say without hesitation that mood wise, this is the healthiest I have felt in years! I mean, I can't even feel depressed if I try. I even caught myself thinking I might go for a jog. What? Huh? I haven't been jogging in 20 years! I know this is all anecdotal and doesn't mean squat scientifically, but damn it means a lot to me. I'm not going to go so far as to say that I am cured. Nor am I brave enough to give up my antidepressants, But, at this moment, I am depression free and I haven't been that way since I was about 10 years old. (I'm 34 now) So... dosage recommendations? Tanning salon? WOW!… I have suffered from depression since my preteen years. And I don’t mean the blues, I mean debilitating depression – like – can’t get out of bed depression. I am on two anti-depressants that are very helpful, but its always there – in the background. I recently had a checkup where the doctor did a lot of bloodwork because I have been drinking too much.

So… dosage recommendations? Tanning salon?

Best wishes, Dr Soram Thank you Dr Kapur,

Their mothers must be Vitamin D deficient, and when they deliver they remain deficient. Also January is probably the lowest point for sun exposure. I have upped the amount of Vitamin D I am taking recently because I found on the net that it would prevent Swine flu and now I see that I am being vindicated by other sources such as yourself. Hello from across the Pond

I too have been reading about Vitamin D recently and I can now postulate after reading your book why those with a January birthdate are more likely to suffer with Schizophrenia. Their mothers must be Vitamin D deficient, and when they deliver they remain deficient.

Also January is probably the lowest point for sun exposure.

I have upped the amount of Vitamin D I am taking recently because I found on the net that it would prevent Swine flu and now I see that I am being vindicated by other sources such as yourself.
