Who Orders Your Labs
Your Psychiatrist Orders and Reviews Your Labs
Lab work here is part of your psychiatric care, not a separate service. Dr. Shehram Majid and his team order the labs that fit your history and review the results with you. We do not process labs in our office. We send the order to Labcorp, Quest, or a local lab where you get the draw done.
We order lab work at intake and again during care when symptoms do not add up. The goal is simple. We rule out medical causes so your treatment fits what is actually going on.
Why Lab Work Matters in Psychiatry
Hormonal Causes of Anxiety and Depression
How a thyroid, vitamin, or hormone issue can drive symptoms that look psychiatric.
A symptom is not always what it looks like. Fatigue can look like depression. Restlessness can look like anxiety. Trouble focusing can look like ADHD. In some cases the real driver is a thyroid issue, low vitamin D or B12, or a hormone change.
Lab work helps tell these apart. When we know your numbers, we can treat the right problem instead of guessing. Labs identify medical contributors to psychiatric symptoms. They are not sold as a cure.

After Your Results
Hormone Evaluation for Mood Disorders: What Results Mean
What we do once your numbers come back.
✓ Mild findings we can support: we handle it as part of your care, which may include changes to sleep, diet, activity, or a supplement where it fits.
→ Findings that need specialist care: we refer you to the right provider, such as an endocrinologist or your primary care doctor. We do not prescribe hormone medication at this time.
◎ Either way: you leave with a clear picture and a plan.
Insurance and Cost
In-Network Care, With Clear Pricing
CIP Psychiatry is in network with seven insurance plans, so most patients pay only their standard copay or coinsurance.
Lab work is sent to an outside lab such as Labcorp or Quest. That lab handles its own verification, charges, and billing through your insurance, so coverage for the labs is set by the lab and your plan, not by our office. Your visit with us is billed separately and stays in network with the plans above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Mental Health Hormone Testing
-
It is blood work a psychiatrist orders to check for medical causes of mental health symptoms. It looks at things like thyroid function, vitamin levels, and hormones. The results help match your treatment to the real cause.

It can play a part. Thyroid problems, cortisol changes, and shifts in sex hormones can add to anxiety in some people. Lab work helps show whether a hormone issue is involved.
