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.
Respected Doctors,
Diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder. Prescribed Divaa and Oxetol by two different doctors. Pls guide as to which one is better and can be taken for long term.
Thank you and regards to all.
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?

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
