Are you a vegetarian?
I know that inflammation can reduce absorption / utilization of some nutrients. Deficiencies in vitamins minerals can certainly cause (or exacerbate) psychiatric problems. But, the deficiency may not be the root cause. Certain disorders and medications are known to result in reduced vitamin absorption, which of course, adds to the symptoms associated with the illness.
In additional to supplementation, focus on a diet which reduces inflammation (i.e. Mediterranean vs western). This could help improve vitamin status as well.
