I also totally agree with what you describe, the societal aspect and BP being a rather normal reaction to severe, "external"/exogenous problems (though one can make things worse psychologically and we probably all have, as I see it).
All your doctor has to do is tick a box on a form for a blood test, like measuring your lithium or glucose or cholesterol levels. Plasma basically just means (the liquid of your) blood. Measuring homocysteine levels is not uncommon. You do need to fast (the part of the day) before you have blood work done, however.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
