I'm not sure whether D3 can help with depression in general. However what triggered my question was the fact that you have SAD in winter when there is the least sunshine. I know that bright light is very important for SAD, but wonder whether it would also be worth you having a blood test in winter to see if your Vit D levels are OK. I don't have depression but my body doesn't absorb Vitamin D very well so I have to supplement. I don't sleep well when I'm lacking in Vit D. Apparently D3 is the best form to take.

Here are a couple of websites I found which may be of interest:

All the best!
