Mental Illness and Vitamin D

Could vitamin D be part of a solution for mental illness? An Australian study found a link between vitamin D and mental illness. The study, published in the Australian And New Zealand Journal Of Psychiatry, found that those who suffered from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizo-affective disorder, and bipolar disorder had vitamin D serum levels about 29 per cent lower than a group with no mental illness.

Low vitamin D has been depression in the recent past, however, adding other psychological disorders to the picture could open up more options other than pharmaceuticals for those with mental illness to try. If this really does help, what a great natural remedy it would be!
