Quick answer
The Deitleman Depression Panel is a laboratory blood panel designed to examine physical health factors that can overlap with mood symptoms, such as thyroid function, nutrient status, blood counts, and metabolic markers. It is not a diagnostic test for depression and does not replace a mental health evaluation. Panel composition can vary by laboratory, so the ordering provider list should be reviewed.
What this test measures
Depression is diagnosed through a clinical evaluation of symptoms and history rather than a single laboratory result. Blood panels are sometimes used alongside that evaluation to look for physical factors that can contribute to low mood, fatigue, or poor concentration, such as thyroid dysfunction, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or metabolic changes.
The panel commonly includes a complete blood count, a comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid stimulating hormone, and selected vitamin and hormone markers. Depending on the laboratory, additional tests such as free T4, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, ferritin, morning cortisol, DHEA sulfate, or magnesium may be added. A blood sample is collected from a vein.
People may order this panel when they are experiencing persistent low mood or fatigue and want a structured lab overview before or alongside a provider visit. Results can highlight areas a provider may choose to explore further, but they cannot confirm or exclude depression. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the findings.
