Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency. Severe Vitamin D deficiency in children causes them to get the bowed legs, and sometimes arms, that are characteristic of the soft bone disease of rickets. In adults, this severe form of low Vitamin D causes a disease called osteomalacia, and can be a precursor to osteoporosis. Osteomalacia is similar to rickets, as it is a softening of the bones, but it doesnât lead to bowed legs as it does in children.

However, research hasnât yet shown clearly whether low vitamin D levels cause depression, or whether low vitamin D levels develop because someone is depressed.here are a number of good research studies from the last few years that look specifically at vitamin D and depression. In a review of research about vitamin D and depression in 2013, 9 researchers looked for and analysed all of the published research about depression and vitamin D up until February 2011.
