You've posted this in 4 communities and it's not clear what you are asking to me.

Can you explain?

This is a depression site and blood tests have little place other than to exclude physical problems.

Suresh - if you're wondering what physical problems might cause anxiety and depression and how those can be identified then I'd suggest you take a look at the reply someone's given you to this question on the Thyroid UK forum here on HU. Anxiety and depression *may* be a symptom of hypothyroidism so that definitely needs checking if you feel there's a physical cause for these symptoms of yours. The person who's responded to you on that forum has given some very useful advice so I won't repeat it here. Hope this helps.

You are who you are and your GP will arrange a treatment plan to control your Depression and Anxiety.
