Do you have to have a blood test for depression?

It would be helpful if there were an accurate blood test for the diagnosis of depression. However, there is no valid laboratory test, to date. (It was once thought that the dexamethasone suppression test was an accurate blood test for depression - and many were ordered in the 1970s. It proved to be both inaccurate and invalid.) The best way to diagnose depression is by a combination of clinical interviewing and scale scoring (HAM-D or Hamilton Depression Scale, or MADRAS, which is the the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating and Assessment Scale). The do-it-yourself Beck Depression inventory (BDI) can be downloaded or viewed online. If depression is suspected, it wouldn't be a bad idea to schedule an appointment with a qualified therapist. If depressive symptoms are moderate to severe, medication can help to supplement the work of therapy (from a primary care physician or psychiatrist).
