Hi!
Blood tests do not help in diagnosing depression/anxiety. However, vitamin deficiencies and hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism may also lead to depression/anxiety symptoms. That could be the reason your doctor must have suggested the tests. Your medicines might take up to 2 weeks.

These test does not detect depression or anxiety. Usually a psychiatrist doesn't advise these tests as psychiatrist can diagnose depression and anxiety with minimum investigation. Medications mentioned by you usually start showing effects in 2 weeks. All the best
