The winter period can mean a lot of pleasure, but for many, this season means D-vitamin deficiency which on the other hand leads to anxiety and depression. We humans depend on the Vitamin D that we get from the sun. During the winter time our part of the world lies in darkness, which in turn leads to vitamin D deficiency.
Lack of D-vitamin leads to many complications. Some of them can be severe depression or osteoporosis. The depression is because we do not get enough sunlight, then our bodies can not take up enough vitamin D and we get vitamin D deficiency.

Our bodies may indeed store large amounts of D-vitamin, but unfortunately not so much that we can stay all winter. This in turn leads to that we, in the end of the winter or beginning of spring, do not have any D-vitamins in our bodies and we get vitamin D deficiency. In that case we have to eat nutritional supplements or health foods that are rich in vitamin D. Eating that helps us to prevent depression, anxiety and osteoporosis caused by lack of D-vitamin.

Thus, the final stock is empty in the early spring and the depression deposit. Depression and anxiety attacks caused by lack of vitamin D is very dangerous for the mental health as well as the physical health, but it can easily be prevented with a small intake of vitamin D each day.
When doctors discovered the link between spring-depression and vitamin D deficiency they began to prescribe the, so called light therapy.
