I am not a doctor, have no medical education and no formal knowledge about health, medicine or biology. As well, I also suggest you consult with a doctor before taking any medical advice from a stranger on the internet. Also, the Wikipedia should be utilized as a truly credible source of information. You should research further into anything found on the Wiki sites. So with that said, I want to give you links to two very informative wikipedia articles on Vitamin D. Basically, taking a supplement of Vitamin D will help reduce seasonal affective disorder which causes depressions and mood swings. It also has many other benefits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder
Who has time to self-indulge in depression? I'm too busy trying to make a living to have seasonal anything. I think depressed people just have too much time on their hands. Vitamin-D is a groove but I prefer to self-medicate at the Bev-Mo and my current favorite is "Belvedere Intense" in black bottle (100 proof). Not just another fancy bottle full of half-distilled potatoe juice this stuff is from Poland and it is the real deal. The best and smoothest vodka I have ever tasted. We now return you to your regular programming, "Mood Swings in Namby Pamby Land".
i did not read the links, but my last blood work(about 6 months ago) did show vitamin D deficiency at some pretty fu**d up levels. i'm daytrader\programmer\network\cpa\etc...no vacations for like last 5 years or so...while overall i feel fine and i'm in decent shape for my age(mid 40's) 160-165lb, about 5'8..i start to feel some pain in joints..kinda similar to carpal tunnel, but a bit different...anyway-long story short-D supplements, fruits,jogging without t shirt to get some real D for like 2 months or so and i feel like a brand new man again..and it does help with mood swings..big time..D rules!
Just find a bitch from your Noo Yawk Shitty who irritates the fck out of every waiter and restaurateur with her bs on salads, brown rice and veggies; then go down on her once a week and you'll have all the vitamins you ever needed.
