Several medical conditions produce symptoms indistinguishable from depression and anxiety, and they are all cheap to test for. This panel does not diagnose a mental health condition and does not replace treatment for one — it rules out the physical causes that get missed, so that whatever is left can be treated properly.
The 9 markers — and why each one is here
Hypothyroidism presents as depression more often than as thyroid symptoms
Low folate is independently associated with depression and poor antidepressant response
Glucose, electrolytes, liver and kidney — all affect mood and cognition
Inflammation is consistently associated with depressive symptoms
Ordering the panel tells you your numbers. The protocol tells you what to do with them — the four treatable conditions that hide behind "it's probably just depression", why the standard B12 test reads normal in real deficiency, the exact omega-3 formulation the trials support and why most fish oil is the wrong one, and the effective herb with a dangerous interaction list.

Morning, fasted. Off biotin 72 hours — it corrupts thyroid results and thyroid is the main thing you're looking for.
Raised TSH or low free T4 → thyroid, treatable. Low B12 or raised MMA → correct it and reassess in 12 weeks. Ferritin under 30 → iron deficiency causes real mood symptoms. Low vitamin D is common and worth correcting. Low testosterone in men causes flat mood and low drive. If everything here is normal, that is useful information too — it points the conversation back where it belongs.
