If you haven't seen a doctor in a while, tell him/her that you'd like to have a physical and get up to date on your medical care. The labs he/she orders will depend on what you say about how you're feeling, your family history, your own history, your lifestyle, and your age. Be very open and honest because the information you provide is so important.

Some regular family docs don't prescribe psych meds and he/she may refer you to a psychiatrist for that.

Thyroid and, a general health screen panel are good things to have done.

Congrats on getting an appointment; it sounds like that took a lot of work.
