Hi - I'm a researcher in the UK using human & medical records data to understand mechanisms in disease and ageing, plus genetic contributions to treatment effect heterogeneity ().

Interested to see how the Mastodon experiment goes. I'll still be on Twitter (@lcpilling) but can absoluately see the need to branch out. Thanks @Psy_Fer_ for setting us up here! Fav thing so far is that this will be a "Toot" 😂

Can genetic testing help doctors better prescribe antidepressants? There’s quite a debate.

"“The differences are very small, and there’s no reason to think you couldn’t have done better by just following standard protocols, which are free,” he said. According to the National Institutes of Health, genetic testing can cost anywhere from $100 to more than $2,000."

…Spoken like a neurotypical who hasn't had to actually experience the "standard protocols."

I show up to my psychiatrist appointments with printouts of journal articles more often than not. Finally got one who's into it. She's very competent.

We're still throwing darts blindfolded, of course. Nobody knows how this shit works. The state of the art in pharmacological treatment for mental health is still akin to a monkey twiddling knobs on the bridge of the starship Enterprise. gives us clues as to which knobs to twiddle and how hard to twiddle them.

Oho, there's a proprietary genetic test which predicts () dose quite well in an early study! Let's see if I can replicate it with 23andme raw data. I'd be doing a lot more stuff like this if I were less depressed... off to sci-hub!
