I might. You see, I just got a bunch, like 7-8 vials of blood taken from me in the past 5 days or so to do a crap load of test. I don't really understand the medical forms, but I know one is to make sure I don't have diabetes, along with checking my cortisol levels, my free T3 and T4 levels, and I had to do the lipid test to check cholesterol levels. Sigh.
That sucks. I will think about getting it checked. My mom would be like "why do you need your vitamins checked" and such.
Ya. Parents and pdoc. I am not sure what and what not to say. I am trying to think if I should tell my pdoc about SAD. I am going to get a full screening, mainly for ADHD, ASD, and LDs, but they do check for psychiatric things too. I know that they don't want to "overdiagnose" someone so they may claim a person doesn't have X condition because it is explainable by Y condition. If I get diagnosed with SAD, they may say I don't have ADHD as an example because this inattentive part has mainly shown this winter, and a part of depression causes lack of concentration and an inability to do things; motivation levels are low. I mean, I lack motivation and concentration levels all the time, just they might use that as an "excuse" for my inattentive things.
And thank you  . I feel like I could do better in a lot of things if I didn't have major anxiety issues. It really sucks. My anxiety mainly affects my music course, because all it is on is performance things and I have moderate social anxiety so no thank you.
Also, yes, you need a doctor's note to get blood work for vitamin screenings. They need the special sheet or whatever. Anyways, thanks for the response [emoji3].

If you just had blood drawn you should be able to call the doctor who ordered the labs and request that they screen for D, B and whatever else, too. They just add those to the labs and use the blood they've already drawn from you.
