It is unlikely. Vitamin D deficiency is most commonly associated with bone problems. However, the full interaction of hormones and other body chemistry on the functioning of the brain is not fully understood. One possible connection between Vitamin D and bipolar is that the main source of vitamin D is exposure to sunlight. Lack of exposure to sunlight can trigger a mood disorder closely associated with bipolar: seasonal affective disorder.

Disorders similar to bipolar disorder?

borderline personality disorder Not by a longshot.....Borderline personality disorder is a personality disorder that involves the thought processes of the individual who has it. There is no chemical component and, although meds can control some symptoms, they cannot manage all as is the case with bipolar disorder. Borderline personality disorder is difficult to cope with because it can mimic any and all psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder...but also schizophrenia, sociopathic, psychopathic, depressed, etc. Typically, there are lies and manipulation involved. There is more self-mutilation (basically, self-mutilators are diagnosed with this) and other self- destructive behaviors. YES, they can have mood swings, but much faster and more often that ohse with bipolar disorder. I don't know who answered this, but they are WRONG. Want examples? Go look up famous people with each disorder. You'll see....good luck!


Does Vitamin D help depression?

Anything that helps your help is good. There are no vitamins or food which will cure depression, but getting enough Vitamin D is important for absorbing calcium for healthy bones. When you're depressed, you don't take care of yourself, and taking a good multi-vitamin will help with that. Don't take more Vitamin D than recommended - and remember it is usually found in milk also.


Is lying a symptom of bipolar disorder?

It's not that we lie. At the time of when we tell you, we believe it to be true, but as our moods can be unpredictable- our answers are sometimes distorted by temporary feelings. Or, maybe some do intentionally lie a lot. Being emotionally instable makes a person self conscious and so some people may give answers to avoid conflict, or to seek approval. It's dependent on the individual.
