  ABSTRACT: This case study explores the diagnosis and treatment of a 51-year-old female with exacerbated anxiety and depressive symptoms, which worsened prior to menstruation. Initial concerns involved the maximum dosage of psychiatric medications with persistent major depressive disorder and suicidal ideations. This led to a referral for a comprehensive evaluation to assess potential underlying medical conditions. The evaluation revealed multiple contributing factors, including hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and vitamin deficiencies. This case highlights the importance of a thorough diagnostic approach to identify and address underlying conditions that may exacerbate mental health issues.
