Well, all sufferers of Mental Illness have been waiting for something like this. It'd be easier to get a diagnosis if tests like this existed for many illnesses. It would also allow people who don't understand what mental illness is about to realize there is a very physical side that to it and give it the respect you'd give some with MS, Diabetes, ETC.
VeriPsych™ is the first and only blood test to aid a psychiatrist in the diagnosis of recent-onset schizophrenia. VeriPsych compares the patient's biomarker profile to that of confirmed schizophrenic patients. It gives physicians, researchers and consumers a new objective evaluation tool. While it is not intended to provide a definitive diagnosis of schizophrenia, VeriPsych opens a valuable new window into this complicated psychiatric condition.
