Apart from the tests you've already had:
- Endocrinologist re. hormone levels and possible PCOS diagnosis
- Sleep doctor to rule out a sleep disorder (may involve having a sleep study done)
- I assume you have had your folate level checked in your blood panel.
- Imunologist to rule out an auto-immune condition.
- Allergy doctor if you have bad allergies which worsen your depression.
- I've read about some people on the autism spectrum having success mood-wise from dietary modification. Gluten and casein seem to be issues in some people. This is a severe case, but take a look at this series of posts on Psych Central: http://blogs.psychcentral.com/therapy-soup/2011/10/autism-schizophrenia-and-nutrition-a-child-thrives/Tachycardia could be anxiety related.
Ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
there is a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in
