A member asked:

What hormone tests should i get before starting antidepressants? to rule out if hormonal? i'm 23female

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None.: Depression in an otherwise healthy young female does not generally require any testing if the symptoms are right and a physical exam is normal. It is reasonable to obtain a basic metabolic panel and consider screening with a TSH and hepatic panel although diseases related to those abnormalities should be clinically apparent.
