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.

Melancholic, negative thoughts

My daughter Aparajita,who has just completed her B. Com, complains having unclear evacuation and abdominal pain sometimes. All her pathological reports, ultrasound are normal. We have consulted Physian also, who okayed everything checking all the body parameters. She is an intelligent student. But anytime when there is tendency of flatulence and abdominal pain, she becomes sad and negative. We are regularly trying to make her positive. She wish to do MBA, but she is losing confidence that everything will not be normal when she may stay away from home for study. Please prescribe medication and necessary advice.

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.
