Your depression may indicate a serious dysfunction inside your body

It is the disease of the age, left by technology and amenities, so we moved away from nature, and from a healthy life, to engage in the maze of digital life that only gave us diseases and fatigue.

But what you don't really know is that this depression may be caused by a lack of an important element in your body, without you realizing it.
Symptoms of depression can interfere with your day and for some people they can be severe, and you may lose the will to live at times

There are many causes of depression

Researchers have discovered that vitamin D may play an important role in mental health and depression in that vitamin D acts on areas of the brain that are associated with depression, but exactly how vitamin D works in the brain is not yet fully understood.

 The latest research has shown a link between low levels of vitamin D in the blood and symptoms of depression. However, it has clearly shown whether low levels of vitamin D cause depression, or whether low levels of vitamin D develop for a person is depression.
Vitamin D deficiency may also be one of the many factors that contribute to depressed mood.
There may be many other things that cause depression, which means that it is difficult to say that when depression improves it is vitamin D that causes the improvement.

Because of all the differences in studies and research, and because this field is relatively new, it is very difficult to be certain about the role of vitamin D in treating depression.

If you are depressed and suspect you are deficient in vitamin D, it is unlikely to make your symptoms worse or cause you any harm. However, you may not see any improvement in your symptoms either. But you should make sure that vitamin D does not replace other treatments or antidepressant medications.

What causes depression?

emergency conditions

Excessive joy or stress, for example.

body nature

So what does vitamin D have to do with the whole issue?

One theory is that vitamin D affects the amount of chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin.

Vitamin D is important for bone health and researchers have now discovered that vitamin D may be important for many other reasons. It plays an important role in many body functions, including brain development.

Vitamin D receptors are found in many parts of the brain. The receptors are found on the surface of the cell where they receive chemical signals. By attaching themselves to the receptors for these chemical signals and then directing the cell to do something, for example to act a certain way, divide or die.

Some of the receptors in the brain are vitamin D receptors, which means that vitamin D somehow behaves in the brain. These receptors are found in areas of the brain that are associated with feelings of depression. This is why vitamin D has been associated with depression and some other mental health problems.

Exactly how vitamin D works in the brain is not fully understood. One theory is that vitamin D affects the amount of chemicals called monoamines (such as serotonin) and how they work in the brain. 5 Many antidepressant medications work by increasing the amount of monoamines in the brain. Therefore, researchers suggested that vitamin D may also increase the amount of monoamines, which have an effect on depression.

What do researchers generally say about vitamin D and depression?
There is a large amount of research that has addressed the topic of vitamin D and its relationship to depression, and other mental health problems.

Research in this field has given mixed and conflicting results, and the main reason for this is that there are very few successful research studies in this field.

Studies have been carried out as follows

Use different amounts of vitamin D for different periods of time

Judging the effectiveness of treatment using different blood levels of vitamin D

Test different groups of people in their studies

Measuring depression and mental health in different ways

Giving vitamin D at different frequencies In some studies people are asked to take vitamin D every day, where as in other studies people take a vitamin once a week.

As for the results of this research:
American research has proven that vitamin D is an essential nutrient important for bone health.

It also has other physiological functions, and there is a high probability that it may be the cause of depressive disorders.

Some studies have found that lower levels of vitamin D are significantly associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms or with a diagnosis of depression.

However, opposing studies confirmed that there is no relationship between vitamin D deficiency and depression, and opposed the methodology of these studies.
