D-vitamin ökar kalciumupptaget i kroppen
En norsk studie, som redogjorts på en konferens nyligen visade att låga nivåer vitamin D var kopplat till depression och negativa symptom vid schizofreni.
Några hundra personer studerades och det fanns dessutom en koppling mellan vitamin D brist och kognitiva störningar i processhastighet och verbalt flyt vid schizofreni.

"Currently, there is not enough evidence to suggest that adult vitamin D deficiency is a cause of adult-onset mental disorders. My hunch is that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to worse outcomes in those with neuropsychiatric disorders―but this is a "two hit" model. Of course, many people with mental disorders have low vitamin D, and thus they need to have supplements in order to help their bone health and reduce risk of falls (good evidence to support these outcomes). But, we do not expect that the use of vitamin D supplements will "cure" their antecedent mental disorders."

Skall lägga till ett sådant kapitel. Det kan vara 50 % med schizofreni, som har vitamin D brist.
