“…However, no statistically significant correlation was found between calcium and magnesium levels and depression. It is also interesting that the level of vitamin D in the examined women was in 57% of them severely low and in 25% of them moderately low [13].…”

Introduction: Some people try to treat psychiatric diseases such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression and anxiety by practising some diets. But do they even work and have any scientific confirmation? The aim of the study: The aim of this study is to find out the relationship and influence of the diet on psychiatric diseases such as ADHD, depression and anxiety. Material and method: The research of the scientific articles was made on a database of PubMed and Google Scholar. Description of the state of knowledge: The results indicate that the lack of some nutrients such as vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, A, D, E, folic acid, zinc, iodine, selenium, iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and chrome may increase the risk of having depression symptoms. Unhealthy diet full of trans fats, red meat and lacking of fruit and vegetables may also lead to depression. Similar results were find due to the anxiety level and the diet. When it comes to ADHD, children with this disease had lower level of vitamins B 12 , B 6, D and folic acids. Among the newly diagnosed celiac disease people, the majority showed ADHD symptoms. After the introduction of the gluten-free diet, the symptoms of the disease subsided. Summary: The results show the huge influence of the diet on the diseases such as depression, anxiety and ADHD.

“…A following cross-sectional study including 100 women in reproductive age also shows that the depression score inverse correlated with the vitamin D serum level [167]. Contradictorily, a supplementation with 1200 IU vitamin D for 12 months failed to have an influence on the prevention of depression in a very recent, randomized clinical trial including 155 participants having clinically relevant depressive symptoms [168].…”

Vitamin D Deficiency

Approximately 90% of the elderly population in the western countries has at least a mild to moderate vitamin D hypovitaminosis. Besides the well-known function of vitamin D in calcium homeostasis, it has been recently found that several enzymes and receptors involved in its homeostasis are expressed in the nervous system and brain suggesting also an important role in the brain homeostasis. Interestingly, epidemiological and clinical studies found reduced vitamin D level associated with an increased risk of several neurodegenerative disorders. In this chapter, we focus on a potential link between vitamin D and Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, prion disease, and motor neuron disease. Epidemiological studies were summarized, an overview of the known potential underlying pathomolecular mechanisms are given, and results from clinical studies dealing with vitamin D supplementation were presented. As an outlook, recent literature suggesting an impact of vitamin D on autism spectrum disease, depression, and schizophrenia are briefly discussed. In conclusion, the identification of an abundant vitamin D metabolism in the brain and the tight link between the increasing number of several neurological and mental disorders emphasize the need of further research making a clear recommendation of the intake and supplementation of vitamin D in a growing elderly population.

Depression is considered as a factor causing significant disability, mortality and healthcare costs and The third leading cause of disability which affects about 840 million people around the world. There are some biological, psychological and environmental theories explaining the pathophysiology of depression, though the main reason is still unknown. Vitamin D as a unique neurosteroid hormone may have an important role in the improvement of depression. Although the relationship between vitamin D levels and depressive symptoms has been explored, the results are inconsistent. Evidences about the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and depression are in conflict. Many studies indicted that, taking vitamin D supplements can be considered as a useful interventions for depressed patients with vitamins deficiency. The current review study suggests that, higher vitamin D intake may be associated with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms. Neurons and glia in many parts of the brain such as the cingulate cortex and hippocampus have vitamin D receptors. There are different brain process which vitamin D invovlved including; Neuroimmunomodulation, regulation of neurotrophic factors, neuroprotection, neuroplasticity and brain development are kinds of brain processes. This fact demonstrates that vitamin D might be associated with depression and its supplementation might play an significant role in depression and its treatment.
