Understanding the Physical Drivers of Depression

Symptoms commonly associated with depression, such as profound fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, and low motivation, can frequently stem from physical ailments. A sluggish thyroid (hypothyroidism), Vitamin B12 deficiency, or severely dysregulated female hormones can perfectly mimic psychiatric depression. Testing these physical markers ensures that biological causes are identified and treated appropriately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes, fasting for 8 to 12 hours prior to the test is strictly required to ensure accurate fasting glucose and cholesterol measurements.
How quickly will I get my results?
Your comprehensive results are processed extremely quickly and will be ready within 4 hours of sample collection.
Is there a specific time in my menstrual cycle I should take this test?
Female hormone levels (FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone) fluctuate during your cycle. Testing is often recommended on Day 3 or Day 21 of your cycle, but you should consult your doctor for personalized timing advice based on your symptoms.
What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If markers like your thyroid function, B12, or hormones are out of range, we strongly recommend booking a Private GP consultation with us to review them and discuss symptom management.
Is the phlebotomy fee included in the price?
No, the £21 phlebotomy service fee is separate and payable directly at the clinic.
Will my results be sent securely?
Yes, your laboratory results will be delivered securely and privately to the email address provided.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for this profile?
No referral is needed. You can book this test independently to investigate the physical factors affecting your mood and energy.

Most Searched Online Questions About Mood & Hormones

Can hormone imbalances cause depression?
Yes. Fluctuations or deficiencies in estrogen and progesterone, especially during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or postpartum, can directly trigger low mood, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
How does the thyroid affect mood?
An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) slows down your metabolism, which frequently causes profound fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and symptoms that are virtually indistinguishable from clinical depression.
Does low Vitamin B12 cause fatigue and low mood?
Absolutely. Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve function and the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin. A deficiency commonly leads to severe lethargy, memory issues, and depression.
Can blood sugar affect my mood?
Yes. Poorly managed blood sugar or insulin resistance can lead to energy crashes, irritability, and mood swings. HbA1c and glucose markers help identify if metabolic issues are contributing to how you feel.
Why do I need to fast for this specific profile?
Because this profile includes comprehensive metabolic checks (Glucose and Cholesterol), fasting ensures that recent meals do not falsely elevate these numbers, providing an accurate baseline of your health.
