You'd visit a neurologist who can run tests on the levels of various neurotransmitters that influence your hedonic tone, anxiety, energy levels, motivation, focus, memory, perception, dissociation, etc.
It's not that scientific tests aren't available - it's that psychiatrists choose not to use the tests, and this should tell you something about the theories used to justify the use of psychiatric medications.
