Blood tests may detect psychotic disorders years BEFORE they start

Blood tests may detect psychotic disorders years BEFORE they start A simple blood test can predict who will suffer psychotic disorders later in life, scientists claim.

Researchers from the Royal College of Surgeons University in Dublin took samples from more than 100 people deemed high risk of developing the conditions.

Using computer imaging and machine learning to look at hundreds of proteins in the blood, they were able to correctly tell who suffer them 93 per cent of the time. The Daily Mail
