Do biomarkers trump behavior?

Olavo B Amaral

To the editor: The article entitled “Biomarkers trump behavior in mental illness diagnosis” seems to misinterpret the growing data on biomarkers in psychiatry in a dangerous way. Research on biomarkers is undoubtedly important, particularly for the insights it provides on pathophysiology and for its potential relevance in determining prognosis and response to treatment.
