hs-CRP is a marker, not a diagnosis
Abnormal TSH can mimic depression. That is why we check — not because every mood is endocrine.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
TSH in psychiatric evaluation is common because hypothyroidism mimics mood/cognitive complaints.
Hormone panel mental health: timed, interpreted, not pellet bait.
From intake to follow-up: Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Do not stack 12 supplements the same week as a new antidepressant without a reason.
Repeat out-of-range values.
Discuss cost/coverage.
Give timing/fasting instructions.
Access from Hallandale Beach
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hallandale Beach presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Lab used to avoid talking about trauma or alcohol.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated: curiosity panels.
Patient request after counseling on limits.
Abnormal prior labs without interpretation.
Treatment-resistant depression with never-checked B12/ferritin/TSH.
