Boston Globe Article about Genetic Testing in Psychiatry


It would be fantastic to have a lab test to help us decide which drugs to prescribe in psychiatry. See Sunday's great Boston Globe article that picked up on our recent coverage of the GeneSight test


It's a promising technology, but the marketing has leap-frogged ahead of the science. 

This Wednesday afternoon I will be participating in a webcast with journalists and other doctors about this controversial issue. 

The chat will begin this Wednesday, 10/7, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The conversation will appear in the embed below and on the New England Center for Investigative reporting page here. You can start submitting questions now though.
