Serotonin and Dopamine Bloodtest
    #23433555 - 07/11/16 10:26 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I was told that there are places where you can walk in, get your blood drawn, and after a few weeks, be given empirical data on your serotonin, dopamine (and maybe a few more chemicals) levels.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or have any resources/links on where I can find out more about this. I'm curious about the price and accuracy of the tests.

What are you hoping to learn?  The levels in themselves may not reveal much about the state of your nervous system.  Serotonin and dopamine do not cross the blood - brain barrier so they would have to take the sample from your brain to get a proper measure.

That makes sense. It sounded too good to be true.

I am 99% sure you can not find out how much dopamine and serotonin someone has. That's what makes mental illnesses and disorders so tricky because we currently can't find exactly whats causing it.
i.e. anti-depressants/SSRI are only assumed to work because they increase serotonin but we can't directly find out there is no way to measure serotonin levels/circulating serotonin.

I think you are right, there are no tests.

Millions are given SSRI drugs based on a conversation with a "specialist".

There is a huge community of scientists that question that depression, anxiety, and rage are biological defects.

Many people think they're abnormal, so when a doctor tells us we are defective, it's easy to latch on to that.

I don't know if you can call them biological defects, these are all important survival mechanisms. Heck, autism has been linked to being a near superhuman hunter-gatherer. The problem is one of modern life not requiring those particular skill sets.
