"The ability to test for panic disorder is a quantum leap in psychiatry.
Panic disorder will no longer be a purely descriptive diagnosis, but, as with cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome and other conditions, a diagnosis based on genetic information.

Mental health is tightly connected to the blood test beacause in the blood is the DNA structure and from the DNA structure you can (theoretically) read anything about that person's health. Of course it will take years before we will be able to decode the DNA structure.
