Pharmacogenomics - PSYCHIATRIC Drug Test

Why do doctors not prescribe PHARMACOGENOMICS (psychiatric drugs) tests for their patients? I have consulted a couple of psychiatrists ON&OFF. I questioned a few but they did not seem convinced about this test. I have suffered terribly by the side-effects of psychotropic drugs. I am quite skeptical & scared now to go for the TRAIL & ERROR of the medication treatment. For most people it works & for a few like me they have to suffer badly & it seems hard to find that one drug which will work.

Depression stress

In depression (primary) or secondary ( due to any physical reasons), inflammation, migraines etc, is there any loss of brain cells or no? The physical changes caused by depression or the neurotransmitters imbalances, are reversible or no? Is there any damage or loss of brain cells as I can see some websites claiming that depression due to inflammation kills brain cells. How quickly can one recover from this or no? Please guide correctly. Also, in physical and mental stress and loss of sleep, breathing becomes shallow. Does this mean less oxygen is reaching the brain? Please guide. Does it permanently lower cognitive abilities or no? Also, do psychiatric medicines and rtms cause any harm?

How to stop smoking

Feel conflicted about smoking. I don’t think I’m actually enjoying the smoking itself anymore, or at least not getting much satisfaction from it, but I still feel a strong urge to continue the activity. It feels more like I’m attached to the act, routine, or compulsion of smoking rather than the pleasure from it. Currently i smoke like 10 mint cig per day. I have been smoking for full 2 years now. I want to stop now as it is affecting my lungs, skin, lip etc.
