How does it feel to be tested for teen depression at the doctors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Teen depression: First medical causes of depression should be ruled out, such as hypothyroidism. This can be done by a simple blood test. They should have a mental health evaluation by a psychiatrist. This involves just answering a lot of questions. The psychiatrist should also speak with the parent regarding their concerns and possible treatment options.
