Depression Test
Finding the Cause of Your Depression - Basic medical test could prove very helpful in determining biochemical causes for depression.
Testing for Neurotransmitter Imbalances
A single neurotransmitter imbalance can result in multiple symptoms. By identifying the chemical imbalances with neurotransmitter tests and understanding how neurotransmitters function and interact in depression, it is possible to better match treatments to the individuals own chemical imbalance.
Neurotransmitter Test
You can now test your Neurotransmitter levels by a blood test or simple non invasive urine test. This test can determine your levels of:
- Serotonin
- Dopamine
- Norepinephrine
- Epinephrine
- GABA
- Glutamate
- PEA
- Histamine
- Acetylcholine
Amino Acid Test
Amino acids are the building blocks for the neurotransmitters that regulate your mood. Amino Acid deficiencies can contribute to symptoms of Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and other mental health disorders. Amino acid levels can be tested by a blood or urine test.
Testing for Hormone Imbalance
A non-invasive saliva test can help determine your hormone levels. Testing will determine what hormone supplements should be used to correct the imbalance that is disrupting your body's hormone regulation. Estradiol, Estrone, Progesterone, Testosterone, Cortisol, DHEA, and even thyroid levels are available by a saliva test.
Many women may develop symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood swings as estrogen levels begin to fluctuate during perimenopausal years then further decline at menopause. Too many women that suffer from menopause and depression have been put on anti-depressant medications instead of addressing the hormone levels through testing and natural bio identical hormones.
Adrenal Stress Hormone Test
Of those individuals that are clinically depressed, around one-half will have an excess of a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands. Located near the kidneys, the adrenal glands assist us in our reactions to stressful events
Fatty Acid Analysis
Studies have shown that people who had much more omega6 compared to omega3 fatty acids were reporting more symptoms of depression, and had much higher levels of IL-6 and TNF alpha, two cytokines which increase inflammation.
Thyroid Test
Hypothyroidism symptoms can be similar to symptoms associated with depression. Decreased interest in daily activities, concentration difficulties, sleep disturbances, and reduced sexual interest. |
