Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine have developed a blood test for anxiety by examining biomarkers, which can determine a patient’s risk, severity, and the most effective treatment options. The test, currently being developed for wider use by MindX Sciences, can help provide a comprehensive report for patients and physicians using a single blood sample, potentially aiding in early diagnosis and targeted treatment.have successfully created a blood test for anxiety.
“Many people are suffering from anxiety, which can be very disabling and interfere with daily life,” said professor of psychiatry Alexander Niculescu, MD, Ph.D. “The current approach is to talk to people about how they feel to see if they could be on medications, but some medications can be addictive and create more problems.
“In addition to medications, there are other methods to treat anxiety, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or lifestyle changes,” Niculescu said. “But having something objective like this where we can know what someone’s current state is as well as their future risk and what treatment options match their profile is very powerful in helping people.”
“There are people who have anxiety and it is not properly diagnosed, then they have panic attacks but think they’re having a heart attack and up in the ER with all sorts of physical symptoms,” Niculescu said. “If we can know that earlier, then we can hopefully avoid this pain and suffering and treat them earlier with something that matches their profile.”
