Changing with the seasons : does vitamin D affect mood?

Creator:: Downing, Dave G. and Kerr, David C. R.
Abstract:: Seasonality is defined as a change in mood and behavior with the seasons. Research shows there is a possible connection between vitamin D levels and mood (Murphy & Wagner, 2008; Lansdowne & Provost, 1998). Given that vitamin D is produced when skin is exposed to sunlight and varies with sun...
