Dear you, Yes vitamin deficiency can have similar symtoms of depression and anxiety but not similar causes.  Step 1 - start supplements. Step 2- you have to go out in sunlight and socialise no matter what. Break that comfort zone.

Vitamins and supplements are important as some times our diet and routine does not fulfil the deficiency. You must spend time in the sun and also take the supplements post checking from a GP or your known medical practitioners.
