Hi Doctor, my father is 58 years old. His lab report shows severe vitamin D deficiency, with a reading of 9 ng per ml. He is not able to sleep, feels depressed, has negative thoughts, and feels very low. Please confirm if his depression and low mood could be caused by vitamin D deficiency?

Yes, low Vitamin D can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. With levels this low, supplementation and regular sunlight exposure are needed. Emotional symptoms usually improve gradually with correction.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test
