Key clinical point: Vitamin D supplementation may reduce negative emotions in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
Major finding: Vitamin D supplementation reduced negative emotions at doses of ≤4,000 IU/day (Hedges' g = −0.2311; P = .0008). In the sub-group analysis, the effects were significant in patients with serum levels of 25(OH)D ≤50 nmol/L (P = .0028), but not in those with levels >50 nmol/L (P = .0507).
Study details: Systematic review and meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials (n = 7,534) comparing the effects of vitamin D and the placebo on negative emotions in patients with MDD.
Disclosures: No funding information was identified. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
