A Review Report on Potential Role of Vitamin D in Management of Depression and anxiety

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Depression and anxiety incapacitated people of all ages, genders, and races. This could have been a result of vitamin D deficiency, which also affected schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and seasonal affective disorder. Vitamin D, also known as cholecalciferol, a fat-soluble vitamin that is necessary for cell growth, neuromuscular and immunological function, calcium and phosphate balance, and several other processes. Clinical investigations had demonstrated a link between vitamin D supplementation and a decrease in the signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Also, the research indicated that those who were depressed had lower vitamin D levels than those who were not, and those who had the lowest levels of vitamin D had the highest risk of both depression and anxiety. Nowadays, research on the role of vitamin D in depression received more attention, and it was obvious that further research was necessary to better understand the role of vitamin D in various aspects of depression and anxiety. According to our research, vitamin D had a positive effect on both anxiety and depression. Antioxidant properties of vitamin D enhanced the functions of brain tissue and were crucial for preventing mood disorders.
