Blood test
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.

Yes please get your thyroid profile and vitamin d levels checked . These have a contributory effect on depression. Do not blindly follow counsellors . Do as your psychiatrist advises you .
