Vitamin D is more active at the pituitary than at the thyroid. It influences TSH.
Your level, 42, is only OK if you are using a standard that does not consider optimal health.
The influences on mood are probably very complex. I think that the take-home message that vitamin D deficiency is associated with depression is sufficient. You don't need to concern yourself with how it works to know that it's true.
