Anemia?: Not usually, but medical illness can certainly cause a tired and depressed feeling. Are you anemic, low red blood cells?

Probably not...: ...but it could be the other way around. And why were these tests taken in the first place? Being tired, down and depressed really sucks (I've been there). You need to help yourself and get the right help in person or maybe a video that will last more than 400 words.It's a journey, with many rewards if you stick to the right path (that was 332 words, not counting these).

Mental health vital: It seems like you need to get screened for depression by your primary doctor with some simple questions. While depression is still under diagnosed due to persistent social stigma, we need to educate each other and support those who may be exhibiting these signs to get treatment and feel better.

Need clarification: In general associated risk factors and medical conditions will predicts a test result. A borderline abnormal blood count in a young healthy person should be interpreted differently than an elderly person with other medical conditions. Can you please clarify your Q?. Update me your concern and with a follow up Q? Also be specific about type of abnormal blood test. Wish you a good luck.
