firefoxsilver9 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 About a year ago I the psychriatrist i was seeing requested that i get some lab work done. Recently i've been reading "The Depression Workbook" by Mary Ellen Copeland and there's a chapter in it about getting tested for all possible medical causes for Depression (Thyroid battery tests, glucose tolerance etc) I got a copy of those labs today and I'm trying to figure out if I indeed had those tests done. Can anyojne tell me what i should be looking for? I can scan them if necessary. I'm thinking of asking during my next appointment to get those tests done if i haven't already.

Lindamomof7 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yes these medical tests can help the Dr figure out if you have any physical causes for your depression. A lot of medical illness mimick other illnesses and depression. So one step at a time... Good Luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
