Pharmacogenomics tests must be offered

Since there is no genetic proof, nor is there any lab test, scan, etc, to show scientific diagnoses of any mental illness, it is causing harm when some are force-medicated, without knowing whether their own DNA can or cannot metabolize psychiatric drug neurotoxins. If they cannot metabolize, they get no benefit, and the VERY expensive RX paid by taxpayers is a waste (sometimes in the millions of dollars for even ONE patient!), but that patient only gets side effects. Pharmacogenomics tests MUST be offered by every dept of mental health practicioner (some of these DNA mouth swab tests are free for medicare, medicaid and sliding scale). It is a protective tool to guide treatment that MUST be offered. These are subjective diagnoses and change from one doctor to the next, with the same patient. The guessing games must be reigned in. (Example: GeneSight was developed by Mayo clinic)
