  • You’d have to ask your primary care doctor about it. Sometimes they can do the test in-house, which is just a cheek swab of saliva. Other times they require a psychiatrist to do the test. I didnt have to get a psychiatry referral since mine did it in the office. But you might, just have to see how your doctors office does it. And sometimes insurance doesn’t pay for it. Out of pocket is like 300 bucks for the test.


  • Medications also have side effects, some of them are really bad. And some meds make people angry, or change your moods quite a bit. I don’t like them, so I’ve stayed away from them for a while now after having tried like half a dozen different meds. Then I did a genetic test to see what meds would mesh well with my genetics, and it turned out there were only like 3-4 decent meds for me out of all the meds available.




  • Every time someone asks in an interview what one of my weaknesses is, i mention how I often will focus on technical task far too in depth, basically try to flip my hyper focus into a strength. But it kind of is. It’s honestly made me a great engineer. Then again, my anxiety has made being an engineer more difficult. It’s called balance.
