There is so much controversy over the treating of depression, it always depended on the physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist who you talked to; every different one talked to always giving a different answer. The other controversy being over whether a person actually has depression or not. There will be people who fully believe they do and therefore search until they find a doctor (of some specialty) that believes in them, and there will also be people who do not believe they have it and are in denial when a doctor tells them they do have it. This blood test, if successful would obviously dissipate a huge amount of this uncertainty and controversy at least on the side of diagnosis. Treating it is still up the air.
