What Blood Tests Should I Get for Anxiety?
The most recommended blood tests for anxiety are TSH, cortisol, a comprehensive metabolic panel, vitamin D, and magnesium. Hyperthyroidism closely mimics anxiety symptoms. These tests rule out thyroid disease, adrenal dysfunction, electrolyte imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies that present as anxiety.
