Nothing like that. Depressed people are already less likely to get sunshine, and perhaps also to obtain sufficient exercise, to optimize bone deposition. Vitamin D intake recommendations are being constantly increased. Last I saw, there were doctors lobbying for an RDA of about 4000 IU/day.

Vitamin D supps are a good idea for folk like me, prone to sunburn (so I avoid direct sun, and/or use gobs of sunscreen), low vigour (so I don't get the exercise I'd like to have), and now add in "exposed to SSRI".
