This study aimed to identify the relationship between the level of deficiency of vitamin (D) and the symptoms of mood disorder among a sample of clients of private medical laboratories in Makkah AlMokarramah City.

It also aimed to identify the differences between five private medical laboratories in the average degree of mood disorder.

In addition, this study aimed to predict the average degree of vitamin (D) and the existence of mood disorder.

The study used descriptive (correlation) methodology to collect data using the Mood Disorder Scale on a sample of 200 clients (both sexes) of private medical laboratories in Makkah AlMokarramah City, which all have vitamin (D) deficiency.
