Summary
This study looks at whether giving vitamin D supplements to women with depression and low vitamin D levels can change their brain waves. Researchers will measure brain activity using a non-invasive EEG scan before and after supplementation. The trial includes 34 women aged 20-40 who have been on stable medication for at least 6 months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to improve brain function in women with depression who are low in vitamin D.
