Common Signs & Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency

Depression

Depression and other associated mental issues can also indicate the presence of vitamin D deficiency. This is mainly because of the effects of this condition on your blood levels, which reduces the amount of oxygen to your cognitive system. Older adults are often at a higher risk of depression when they lack vitamin D compared to younger people. Taking some vitamin D supplements can be helpful in improving some symptoms of depression, especially during the cold months. [3]
