What is tested
Typical panels include vitamins (B12, D, folate), minerals, thyroid and adrenal markers, liver function, inflammatory markers and sometimes genetic variants affecting metabolism.
A balanced view of the evidence
Correcting clear deficiencies (for example thiamine in alcohol use) is well-established medicine. Some broader functional-medicine claims have more limited evidence, so treat it as a complement to, not a replacement for, psychiatric care.
