Blood test

2018-10-11 14:18:21
I recently got a counseling session done with regards to depression and the tests said I have severe depression and anxiety. The doctor asked me to get a blood test done first and then visit a psychiatrist. Please let me know if I stay in jayanagar, where can I do my blood test and how much would it cost me. Thanks

I don't understand a need for a blood test for a depression... I still suggest you to consult a psychologist to get a clarity and to overcome this issue.
