Vitamin deficiencies are easy to detect and to treat, and there's no sense in spending months or years hoping to find the right anti-depressant before checking for them. Heck, I wish my issues were caused by vitamin deficiencies.

How are vitamin deficiencies detected? Some specific blood test?

Your doctor sends your blood sample to a lab and ticks the 'B12' box on the printout form
