Genome Map Could Change Mental Care. A new paper in Science by two preeminent psychiatrists, Eric Nestler and Peter McGuffin, waxes enthusiastic about the value sequencing the human genome will have for the treatment of mental illness, drug addiction and even deviant behavior… but don’t hold your breath, IMHO. This rush to jump onto the bandwagon of biogenetic determinism ignores the fact that psychiatry is still mired in the dark ages of arguing nature-versus-nurture in the etiology and treatment approach to most disorders. Furthermore, it’s not likely to be soon that we begin sequencing individuals’ genetic sequences as a routine clinical tool paid for by health insurance as opposed to research grants.
