See your physician: It’s easy enough to get blood tests for hypothyroidism, anemia, vitamin D, etc. Although you need your physician to accurately interpret the results. There are also psychological tests to screen for depression and other emotional conditions, and again best to see a psychologist for evaluation. See your physician first.
