Vitamin D Supplementation Linked to Fewer Suicide Attempts

Lithium in city water supplies also brings numbers down.

I'm wondering what the mechanism is, if there is one.

I do not have the article, so hard to comment on methodology. Did they control for whether or not the Vets on D supplementation were actually engaged in more clinical services, than vets not on them?
