Anecdotal: Research is not strong at this point in terms of vit d's contribution to depression and mood symptoms. Anecdotally, some patients improve their vitamin levels and their mood symptoms also improve while others see no change. The best way to find out is to treat the vitamin deficiency. Good luck!

Unlikely but...: Raising your vit d levels can only help but i doubt it's the cause of your anxiety. Also try a good b complex with the l-5-mthf form of folate; also magnesium taurate or glycinate. Reduce sugar and junk food. Consider emotional freedom technique (see www.Eftuniverse.Com), meditation, classical homeopathy and cranial electrical stimulation- see http://www.Cesultra.Com/ces-research.Htm good luck!
