I really don't know. I would have to reseach this.

Make sure that you are taking D3.
I have no idea what the percentage is of people with major depressive disorder (MDD) who respond to D3 supplementation. I imagine it would be relatively small. However, the percentage of people with vitamin D deficiency who present with depression and respond to D3 supplemention is probably quite large. Were you tested for vitamin D status?
