It seems like if this is truely a brain chemistry thing, then they would be able to do some more scientific test to determine what drugs I should be on rather than we'll try this and see how it works. Does that make sense? Like shouldn't we be seeing Neurologists rather than Psychologists?

Thanks for starting this thread.
Hopefully, eventually it will be possible. I have read that scientists have discovered genes that determine whether a person would gain weight on antipsychotics. Do not remember the details.
