I live in the northeastern U.S. and a year or so ago, when I was experimenting with treatments for depression, I had my therapist inform me that in this part of the world it is just about impossible to get adequate vitamin D from sun exposure alone. We simply don't get enough quality sun the majority of the year, even if we are outdoors all the time. Thus, he recommended supplements.

Last time I was checked, I was severely deficient in vitamin D. After attributing it to me being vegetarian, she told me to take some vitamins. I'm horrible at remembering to take them
