Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms.  In order to diagnose depression with anxiety, we could:

  • Research the topic
  • Find a doctor with the time
  • Use a diagnostic computer system.
The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "depression with anxiety" as a symptom.  Here are four possibilities:
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Hypoglycemia
  • DMAE Need
  • Anorexia/Starvation Tendency

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:
history of anorexia
very brittle hair
yellow/yellowish fingernails
much reduced sense of smell
vision disturbances
T3-only thyroid hormone use
no desire to recover from alcoholism
high iodine consumption
brittle fingernails
regularly feeling unusually cold
being a lethargic person
being stubborn
... and more than 80 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of depression with anxiety:
Cause Probability Status
Anorexia/Starvation Tendency 93% Confirm
DMAE Need 22% Unlikely
Hypothyroidism 4% Ruled out
Hypoglycemia 4% Ruled out
* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
