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.

Comprehensive Issue

From childhood, I have lifelong difficulties that go beyond ADHD. When I listen to someone speaking, even carefully, I cannot process or understand — it feels like hearing a foreign language. Same with reading — I read but meaning does not reach inside. I cannot form mental images or visualize what is being explained. I cannot connect pieces of information together. These problems have persisted since childhood and affect every area of my life. A comprehensive assessment is required — this is more about comprehension and processing than attention alone. Despite working hard, I am not able to survive or cope. Life is becoming harder as I am growing. Depression because of this reason. Any doctor who understand this more than prescribing only medication. Thanks

When Antidepressants Aren't Working — a Psychiatrist's Decision Tree for the Next Step
