Test for Checking hormones of happiness

Is there any test for depression patients to determine whether they are suffering from depression or not based on levels of hormones like serotonin? If yes can there be a hormonal assay for it as well that can indicate the presence of illness and the need for cure?

No depression is a clinical diagnosis which a psychiatrist makes by taking patient's history amd symptoms. There are no lab tests to diagnose depression as such. Altough psychiatrist might order some tests for hormones in some cases to rule  out medical illnesses which might mimic or lead to depression.
