Abstract

Today’s psychiatry is progressively entering the realm of science. Significant advances in structural neuroimaging and insight in functional as well as dysfunctional connectivity permit us to see the world from a patient’s perspective and generate hypotheses driven by objective brain-based data (1). In addition to these sophisticated imaging tools, human genetic mapping allows us to address an individual’s genetic vulnerabilities in relation to their brain’s development and processing internal and external information. Increasingly, psychiatric clinicians see genetic mapping as a valid and significantly beneficial tool (2). From a simple cheek swab or saliva sample, commercial enterprises give clinicians quick and easy access to a patient’s genetic vulnerabilities, which can be divided in two domains.
