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 fatigue" as a symptom. Here are five possibilities:

Hypersomnolence
PMS D
Stress
Progesterone Excess
DMAE Need

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:

breast soreness during cycle

poor mental clarity

afternoon coffee/sugar craving

high diastolic blood pressure

severe afternoon/evening fatigue

disturbed sleep

cysts in breasts

weak appetite

recently going through divorce

cold sores

taking high dose progesterone

no difficulty waking up

... and more than 50 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 fatigue:

Cause	Probability	Status
DMAE Need	98%	Confirm
PMS D	20%	Unlikely
Stress	0%	Ruled out
Hypersomnolence	0%	Ruled out
Progesterone Excess	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
