Comment on Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game?

  Vitamin D deficiency as well!

  If your shadow is longer than you are tall, you are not getting enough ultraviolet radiation to produce vitamin D. You need about 15 minutes a day.

  It is extremely common to be deficient in the northern part of North America, all of Canada, and the United Kingdom.

  Some of the symptoms are fatigue and depression

    What is this shadow longer than your tall thing ? I have never heard of it lol . Can you explain how to check it or why it is a thing that happens and is real ?

      I think that’s saying that if you go out at sunrise/sunset, the sun is on the horizon, and so your shadow will be a lot longer. In that scenario, you aren’t getting enough UV to produce the vitamin D you need.

        Still I don’t understand does shadows have something to do with vitamin D ?

      Angle of the sun. Sunlight’s not intense enough for your skin to use the radiation to help generate the D.

    I found out last doctor’s appointment my vitamin d is insanely low so I started taking a supplement this week and it’s made a world of difference already! Highly recommend trying it out if you feel burnt out and low energy all the time especially if you spend a lot of time inside. Its also relatively pretty cheap all things considered which is nice.

  Often caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals, which can be corrected with medicine.

  Get diagnosed and take your meds. It’s a world of difference.

    To be clear, this doesn’t necessarily mean “get diagnosed for depression” either.

    No, as others have suggested, get a blood test.

    Accelerating depression was surprisingly a symptom of my cancer. It can also be a symptom of something far more serious than just depression.

      So being depressed can also be a symptom of something far more serious than just depression.

      This is very poor wording. Depression is one of the deadliest illnesses in young people.
