Depression
Test
The
diagnosis of depression is based
on the DSM IV criteria. A copy
of this criteria is found below.
With regards to a depression
test for diagnosis
there is not specific laboratory
tests confirming the diagnosis of
depression. But, once the diagnosis
of depression is entertained it is
important to get depression
test panel for other disease to
make sure that other diseases that
can look like depression is not
present.
Testing for other disease is in fact
quit simple. The medical laboratory workup for
depression involves:
Both anemia and
hypothyroidism can look like
symptoms of depression. It is important to
identify patients with these diseases since
proper medical treatment is markedly different
from treatment of depression. |

Unique depression test
during treatment developed by
NeuroResearch Clinics can help
all forms of depression
including depression that has
not responded to treatment
previously. This depression test
does not diagnose depression it
helps establish neurotransmitter
levels in optimal levels for
relief of symptoms |

Depression Test
Its no secret, NeuroResearch Clinics uses the nutrients 5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa,
and cysteine to treat medical
patients in order to get these
results. Proper
use of these simple ingredients in
medical treatment is not simple.
From time to time a patient will
say, "Why do I want to take that, I
can go to a health food store and
buy it?" People off the street
buying in a health food store is
like going to an art store and
buying a bunch of oil paints then
going home and expecting to paint
like a mater artist even though
there was no previous painting
experience. These nutrients have
tremendous potential due to their
chemical properties. This potential
is only fully realized in the hands
of the trained professional using
neurotransmitter testing. Treatment
is not just giving a nutrient pill, it is the whole medical management approach doctors are trained in to insure that that treatment is on track in order to get symptoms under control.
The Peer Reviewed Research
of NeuroResearch Clinics
The neurotransmitter treatment research findings of NeuroResearch Clinics
have not been ignored. The University of
Minnesota Medical School is writing a series of
papers on the neurotransmitter testing research of NeuroResearch Clinics. The first of a series of papers by University of Minnesota Medical School based on the neurotransmitter testing research of NeuroResearch was published in "NeuroPsychiatric Disease and Treatment" May 1, 2009. Ingrid
Kohlstadt, MD of Johns Hopkins in her new
medical text book released February 7, 2009
included a chapter on depression written by
Marty L. Hinz, MD President Clinical
Research NeuroResearch Clinics outlining in
depth the proper use of amino acids and
neurotransmitter testing in treatment of
depression.
