The newest and largest meta-analysis on the association of vitamin D supplementation and depression found that “vitamin D supplementation is more effective than a placebo in alleviating depressive symptoms in people with depression. There were major differences in the vitamin D doses used, but typically the vitamin D supplement was 50–100 micrograms per day.” AGEIST recommends regular testing of Vitamin D levels here.
