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).

How do you measure serotonin deficiancey?
Serotonin--a chemical in the brain that regulates mood, sleep, appetite and aggression--is difficult to measure. It is not possible to directly measure levels of serotonin in the brain of a living person. Because the cells that produce serotonin either reabsorb it or release it into the bloodstream, where it breaks down into different compounds, researchers have developed a test that can measure the amount of these compounds in the blood to estimate serotonin levels. Only a doctor can perform these tests. Interestingly, doctors test for these compounds because they are leading indicators of a specific type of cancer in the digestive system--not for depression or mental health.
