Chemical testing for anxiety and depression....

Posted by jms600 on December 16, 2008, at 16:28:39

Hi everyone,

I've read about this a little but can't seem to find much information on it. Can tests be carried out to ascertain the levels of serotonin, norepinephrine and/or dopamine in the brain? If so, how accurate are they?

Has anyone tried these tests? I'm no expert in such areas, but if the tests show that your lacking in serotonin or producing excess dopamine, then surely appropriate drugs can be prescribed to address the imbalance??

Are there any other chemicals within the body that can cause excess anxiety/depression which can also be tested for??

Thanks!
