Wouldn't it be great if you could get a simple blood test to diagnose panic disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc.? Well, it just might be a possibility in a couple of years. Here's a snippet of an article I just published...
"I find it incredibly exciting that research is now being conducted on objective lab-based mind variance diagnosis. And from everything I’ve read it appears as though the work is about to produce some dramatic breakthroughs. The research is focusing upon the prevalence and pattern of gene expression in mind variance sufferers. It’s all about genetic biomarkers, very unique chemical signatures. And extraordinarily fascinating is the fact that scientists have found ten genes that can be detected in the blood, which will soon provide the information necessary to generate accurate mind variance diagnoses."
"Now, as wonderful as this news is, one has to play devil’s advocate and consider some ethical issues. I mean, it’s one thing for, say, insurance companies, employers, college admissions staff, the military, and the government to know about one’s hyperthyroidism. But having knowledge of one’s panic disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia is another matter altogether. Obviously, the combination of stigma and financial agendas could lead to some serious problems."
