Depression Profile – Females

Comprehensive Blood Test for Hormonal, Thyroid, and Nutritional Imbalances Affecting Mental Health

The Depression Profile – Females is a specialised blood test designed to explore the physical factors that may be contributing to symptoms of depression in women. It provides a thorough analysis of hormone levels, thyroid function, key vitamin levels, and metabolic health – all of which can impact mood, energy, and mental clarity.

Why This Test Matters

Depression can stem from more than just emotional or psychological causes. In women, it’s often influenced by:

Hormonal fluctuations due to menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, or PCOS

Thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism

Vitamin deficiencies, especially Vitamin B12

Metabolic issues including blood sugar or cholesterol imbalances

Understanding these underlying physical causes is essential for developing an effective and personalised approach to treatment.

What’s Included in the Test?

This profile checks for:

Reproductive hormones: Progesterone, Estradiol, FSH, LH

Thyroid function: TSH, Free T4 (and possibly Free T3)

Vitamin levels: Especially Vitamin B12

Metabolic markers: Glucose and Cholesterol levels

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test is ideal for women experiencing:

Persistent low mood, fatigue, or irritability

Mood changes linked to hormonal transitions (e.g. puberty, postpartum, menopause)

Suspected thyroid dysfunction or vitamin deficiencies

Difficulty concentrating or other symptoms of depression with no clear cause
