Basic package - stress diagnosis with consultation of a psychiatrist

NOTE: Before realizing the consultation of a psychiatrist, it is necessary to go to the facility of the Damian Medical Center and perform laboratory tests assigned to the package

The following tests are included in the package:

• Complete morphology - analyzer - blood
• Fasting glucose in venous blood
• Acute phase protein - CRP - quantitative
• Cortisol - serum
• Vitamin D-25(OH)D

After their completion, the patient receives a first-time psychiatrist's consultation.

For whom.

The package is recommended for people who:

• experience chronic stress, tension or sleep problems,
• notice a decrease in their energy, concentration, lowered mood or anxiety,
• want to comprehensively check whether their symptoms are physiological, psychological or related to deficiencies (e.g. vitamin D),
• are planning to start psychiatric treatment and want to prepare well for the first visit.

How to prepare for the test?

For laboratory tests, you should go to:

• fasting (at least 8 hours without food, you can drink water),
• preferably in the morning, because cortisol and glucose levels are most reliable then.
