This comprehensive blood work panel is designed for individuals taking psychiatric medications, ensuring safe and effective treatment by monitoring key metabolic and organ functions. It includes:
• CBC (Complete Blood Count) – Assesses overall health, screening for anemia, infection, or inflammation, which can impact energy levels, mood, and medication response.
• CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) – Evaluates kidney and liver function, electrolytes, and glucose levels, essential for patients taking antidepressants, mood stabilizers, stimulants, or antipsychotics that may affect metabolism.
• Lipid Panel – Monitors cholesterol and triglyceride levels, particularly important for individuals on mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, or ADHD medications, which can impact cardiovascular health.
• Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4) – Screens for hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can mimic or exacerbate depression, anxiety, or mood instability. Thyroid dysfunction can also affect how psychiatric medications work.
• HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) – Measures long-term blood sugar control, crucial for monitoring patients on medications that may impact glucose metabolism, such as antipsychotics and certain antidepressants.
🔎 Who Should Get This Panel?
✔️ Patients starting or currently taking antidepressants, mood stabilizers, stimulants, or antipsychotics
✔️ Individuals at risk for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or thyroid disorders
✔️ Routine monitoring for medication safety, metabolic changes, and overall well-being
This lab panel provides critical insights into your health, helping your provider make informed decisions about your treatment while minimizing potential side effects from psychiatric medications. Regular monitoring ensures both safety and effectiveness in long-term mental health care.
