Well, finally, they do have a test for whatever ails you, and if you don’t know exactly what that is, try for example the seratonin test.
According to one only psych educator there is a test, and he is not in favor of revealing who does it. Why? Well who knows why. If you have ADHD such as this writer, the one thing is that you won’t be able to get through the mundance task of reading why. You may suffer from a lack of seratonin, the 5ht gene, or whatever it is that is ailing you, but you certainly won’t get help from this place. So let’s do a bit of research.
1. Some of the foremost doctors in the genetic understanding of seratonin related issues are listed 0n the nimh website. Try Dr. Lesch
I’ve tired for years to understand the genetic pinnings of depression and I can tell you that only recently was it ever confirmed that depression was in fact genetic. You can easily have deduced that from miserable depressed and crazy families. Like the Hatfields and McCoy’s. But until lately it was never really confirmed leaving us all guessing. Why is it important to know what you actually have asks Dr. Jim Phelps. The answer is simple: if you have a family full of crazies, maybe you want to know what help could be gotten for the problem, IF you knew WHAT the issue was.
The problem with psychiatry these days is that since it’s all new science, it’s very easy for junk doctors to start giving you paxil, prozac, and a host of other anti-depressants without knowing exactly what they are treating. Guessing is a fine art in the current doctor’s office and if you’ve ever had depression it can be quite frustrating, if not downright miserable and life saving.
Now, back to that test. Take a look at Mayo Clinic, that I just found on the internet which gives the exact reasons I cited above as the reason for telling people where to get the test. That’s right, I’m not a shrink, I only speak from personal experience that depression is no fun and if you can help people find treatment (as God knows there are many out there that don’t work for each person), then you have an obligation to make that information known and free. Why hide it?! It appears that the Mayo Clinic Test is here
