• Depressed patients, particularly women, have lower blood levels of vitamin B12. Supplementation with vitamin B12 may alleviate the symptoms of depression.

• Vitamin B12 protects the structural integrity of myelin shields on the outer layers of the nerve fibers and supports the production of new red blood cells. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to irritability, personality changes, depression, cognitive impairment, and psychosis.

What Is the Association between Vitamin D and Depression?

• Vitamin D receptors are ubiquitously present in the neurons, implying that vitamin D plays an important role in neuron-to-neuron communications in the brain.

• Vitamin D regulates the production of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin. Vitamin D deficiency reduces dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, leading to depression.

• According to historical records dating back 2,000 years ago, physicians knew that sun exposure could treat patients with depression. Upon sun exposure, the skin produces vitamin D. High blood levels of vitamin D decrease the risk of depression, and vitamin D deficiency is associated with depression.
