At the start of the study, vitamin D levels were low in participants, and depressive symptoms were high. After vitamin D replacement and during follow-up, depressive symptoms improved. The results showed, in conclusion, that lower vitamin D levels are associated with higher depression, and vitamin D treatment improved depressive symptoms in patients with MS.
