There are several ways to get 1000 IU's of Vitamin D per day, but a "better" way depends upon your definition.
A 'good' way to get lots of Vitamin D is to expose your skin to the sun. If you expose your entire body for whatever amount of time it takes JUST BEFORE you get pink, you can make up to 20,000 IU's.
But dermatologists don't recommend this method of getting Vitamin D due to fears of skin cancer.
You CAN get your Vitamin D in foods, but you would need to drink 10 glasses of milk or 8 ounces of salmon every day to get that amount. Most people are not willing to do that.
More concerning is that your doctor told you to take 1000 IU's per day. According to most research, this will NOT correct your Vitamin D deficiency and is even too low for a maintenance dose. Many Vitamin D researchers are recommending a minimum of 2000 IU's per day every day for adults.
Be sure to get your Vitamin D level checked in a few months to see if the dose that you are taking is actually correcting your deficiency.

How can bipolar be misdiagnosed?
Yes I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, then the meds they put me on didn't work so I did some research and found my symptoms were a match for a hormonal imbalance. I took this research to my doctor, and he ran tests, and I was right! It was a hormonal imbalance. I am currently being treated for this instead of bipolar. Its very easy for doctors to make this mistake, as the symptoms of each are very similar.
