Lab Studies

Lab studies give your provider a fuller picture of your health. The right bloodwork helps rule out medical causes for psychiatric symptoms, confirm a diagnosis, and keep your treatment safe over time.

Lab Studies at Godaelli Psychiatry

Many concerns that look like a mental health condition, such as fatigue, low mood, anxiety, or trouble concentrating, can have a medical cause. Ordering the right labs helps us tell the difference and tailor your care with confidence.

Studies We Offer

• Comprehensive metabolic panel. A broad look at blood sugar, electrolytes, kidney function, and liver function.
• Blood panel (vitamin D and B). Checks for vitamin D and B deficiencies that can affect mood, energy, and focus.
• Lipid panel. Measures cholesterol and triglycerides, important when monitoring certain medications.
• Thyroid panel. Screens thyroid function, since imbalances can mimic depression and anxiety.
• Drug screening. Confirms what is and is not in your system to support accurate diagnosis and safe prescribing.

Why Labs Matter in Psychiatric Care

Bloodwork is a simple, low-effort step that adds real clarity. It rules out medical causes, establishes a baseline before starting medication, and lets us monitor your response over time so your plan stays safe and effective.
