Ruling out causes: Your physician is ordering these tests in order to rule out other causes for your feelings of depression (endocrine disorders, arrhythmia, etc). If these tests come back normal, you might be referred to a psychiatrist to help manage your depressive symptoms. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/depression.html
