Get to the Root of Fatigue, Anxiety, or Depression

Mental health symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and fatigue are often caused—or worsened—by underlying physical conditions. Lab testing can help uncover medical issues that may present as mental health concerns but are non-psychiatric in origin.

This blood panel is designed to support a more complete picture of your health by evaluating common conditions that can mimic or contribute to emotional and cognitive changes.

This Panel Includes:

  • Complete Blood Count (CBC)
  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
  • Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
  • Lipid Profile Panel
  • Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Fasting is recommended for the most accurate results.

What Each Test Can Reveal

Complete Blood Count (CBC):

  • Screens for anemia, infection, or inflammation
  • Low red blood cell counts can cause fatigue, brain fog, and low energy—symptoms often mistaken for depression

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP):

  • Assesses kidney and liver function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance
  • Imbalances in sodium, calcium, or glucose can contribute to mood changes, confusion, and fatigue

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c):

  • Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months
  • Unstable or high blood sugar can cause mood swings, irritability, and mental fogginess

Lipid Profile Panel:

  • Measures cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Elevated lipids can signal cardiovascular risks, which may be linked to poor circulation, low energy, and increased risk of vascular-related depression

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH):

  • Evaluates thyroid function
  • Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are known to cause depression, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and mood disturbances

Who Should Consider This Panel?

  • Individuals experiencing unexplained anxiety, fatigue, or low mood
  • Anyone starting or adjusting mental health treatment
  • People wanting to explore potential medical contributors to emotional or cognitive changes
  • Patients with a family history of thyroid disease, diabetes, or cardiovascular issues
  • Providers seeking to rule out physical causes before prescribing psychiatric medications

Why This Panel Matters

Many people are prescribed psychiatric medications without first checking for medical issues that may be driving their symptoms. This panel offers an affordable and comprehensive way to assess your physical health and ensure you're not overlooking treatable causes of mental health changes.
