The only cut and dry test that the doctor can order is thyroid. If you have low thyroid you can take thyroid.
Other markers, however, are not useful in determining course of treatment. For instance, BDNF is often low in depression. Antidepressants may normalize this, but no one antidepressant has been shown more effective at doing so.
