Oh. Sorry. Yes, but being a member is free. I can try and re-wrangle it....
Does it give you an option to register?

Can it be an Olympic sport? Call it free-googling? Then we could be athletes. We could compete and practice good sportsmanship.
I completely forget how I got there. Likely a black-out from binge-googling.

Could one of you summarize it for those of us who just don't feel up to finding an old login or making a new one?

Ummm. There are blood tests being developed that look for biomarkers in blood. This is unrelated to genetic markers and genetic testing.
It seems more closer to reliability for schizophrenia, but they are closing in on markers for certain types of MDD as well.
Some are thinking if it as preventative measures, such as bloodwork for at-risk teens. Eventually, the bloodwork could become protocol, even suggesting who might best benefit from what sort of treatment approaches (in MDD that is).
For the hard science and more, well, you'll need the article or someone else's summary.
But the journal is pretty good, IMO. Once I lregistered, they just deliver to my inbox and I don't need to login anymore.
I do apologize again for posting what turned out to be an indirect link. I didn't know.
