A couple of days...It's funny you sent this out. A couple of days ago one of my friends (another nurse) told me she had read about some research linking a strong correlation between low vitamin D levels and depression. People who lived in colder climates and were indoors for long periods of time had less exposure to the sun and obviously had low levels of vitamin D. Most of these people had been diagnosed with seasonal depression. They also studied people who lived in warmer climates and were diagnosed with clinical depression. These people also had low vitamin D levels. So they divided all of the people into three groups. Group A subjects were given supplemental vitamin D. Group B were given "doses" of sun exposure using sun lamp therapy. Group C was the control group, they were given sugar pills. All of the subjects were given a "depression quiz" to rate their mood before, during, and after their treatment time. Both group A & B had a large jump in their scores on the quiz (meaning their mood improved greatly). Their vitamin D levels were also markedly higher. While group C scores and vitamin D levels remained consistent throughout the study. Sunshine (or vitamin D) therapy sounds good to me.Christina Dieboldnoreply@blogger.com
