DDs for depression - depends on accompanying symptoms... most likely fatigue will be the prominant symptom... so DDs appropiate to fatigue - obstructive sleep apnea, HIV, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syn, anemia, etc...
Other DDs for depression - dysthymia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, etc...
investigations would be - CBC, TSH levels, sleep studies, HIV testing, toxicology, thyroid ultrasonography...
remember we allways have to adjust for the patient whose presented...
good luck!!!
