In reply to where are the diagnostic tests?!!, posted by badhaircut on September 14, 2004, at 8:19:03
I think the only way you're going to get some of these tests is to try and get on as many trials for depression or other mental ilnesses as possible where they actually use them. At least that's what I'm trying to do.
The thing is I'm not sure if any of these things actually are a really good indicator is, I mean 8 years ago I responded really well to 20mg of Seroxat, now I respond partially to 40mg (after two years of trying different things)of Seroxat, I'm just wondering if any diagnostic tools would have showed this up.
I really hope they start making some breakthroughs with this illness, because at the moment I feel as though I'm gonna have to wait another ten years or so (maybe more) just to feel normal again and by that time I'll probably have Emphysema from smoking so much.
