Chicken vs. egg: Good question. Both depression and fatigue are common symptoms of D deficiency. I know of no data on which is more common, but you're correct that depression often causes fatigue, but fatigue and other symptoms of low D such as chronic pain can cause depression. Each can cause the other; everything is connected. Either way it's simple to correct low D. See http://tinyurl.com/2chkcer
