Me too, I went to doctors when I was in Seattle, they recommended complicated stuff...no Vitamin D though.

I also had a B12 deficiency that contributed to depression, and it was a decade before that was figured out too. But doc's are super eager to prescribe SSRI's.

SSRI's make money, B12 shots and Vitamin D don't. Just a coincidence I'm sure.
Most SSRIs don't make money. I just ordered a 90-day supply of the generic version of my SSRI (actually an SNRI) for $45. And in looking it up, I realized that I overpaid because I went through my insurance, while GoodRx would get me the same pills from a local pharmacy for $20.
My D for a whole winter costs me €20. Strongly prefer that over any sort of "fucks-with-your-head"-drug.
