<h1 class="pagination-centered">How to Perfect Your Life</h1>
<p>By the time that you have finished reading this, at least one person will have ended their own life. Although this does help to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion, depression transforms millions of innocent lives into personal living hells. Mental illness plagues more human lives than heart disease, cancer, and AIDS combined. Society is deprived of the immeasurable value that could have been contributed by these individuals.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Empiricism will put an end to mental illness as we know it. The following is a broad outline of the steps an individual must take to perfect their life.</p>
<h2>Diagnosis</h2>
<div class="indents">
<p><a href="http://whatsmym3.com/" target="new">What's My M3?</a> provides a three minute test for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and PTSD to diagnose the specific <a href="http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/brain-and-behavior/articles/2010/03/09/feeling-depressed-or-anxious-screen-yourself-online" target="new">subtype</a> of mental illness. </p>
<h2>Treatment Determination</h2>
<p><a href="http://curetogether.com/" target="new">Cure Together</a> provides a crowdsourced list of <a href="http://curetogether.com/depression/ig/treatment-effectiveness-vs-popularity" target="new">treatments</a> in order by their rate of effectiveness at alleviating:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/depression/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Depression</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/anxiety/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Anxiety</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/bipolar-disorder/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Bipolar Disorder</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/ptsd/treatments/pmi/" target="new">PTSD</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/social-anxiety-disorder/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Social Anxiety Disorder</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/seasonal-affective-disorder/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Seasonal Affective Disorder</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder</a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/obsessive-compulsive-disorder/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder </a></li>
<li><a href="http://curetogether.com/schizophrenia/treatments/pmi/" target="new">Schizophrenia </a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Safety Information</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.mediguard.org/" target="new">Medigaurd</a> can be used to perform safety checks to screen for potential drug-drug and drug-disease interactions.</p>
<h2>Treatment Tracking</h2>
<p>Individuals can then use self-tracking <a href="http://quantimodo.com/blog/quantimodo-comparison-matrix-for-quanitified-self-apps-devices-that-track-specific-variables/" target="new">applications</a> and devices to track their treatments.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/" target="new">My Fitness Pal</a> allows users to track their diet and exercise.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.medisafeproject.com/" target="new">Medisafe</a> allows users to track their medication consumption.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.myzeo.com/" target="new">Zeo</a> uses electroencephalography (EEG) to track the quality of your sleep. </li>
<li><a href="http://www.fitbit.com/" target="new">Fitbit</a> tracks steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed and sleep cycle.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.bodymedia.com/" target="new">BodyMedia</a> daily energy expenditure and energy intake using an accelerometer, heat flux sensor, galvanic skin response sensor, skin temperature sensor, and a near-body ambient temperature sensor. </li>
</ul>
<h2>Biometric Monitoring to Identify Adverse Events</h2>
<p>Since safety is of critical importance in any self-experimentation, individuals should engage in rigorous tracking of their vital signs to identify if they drift outside acceptable ranges. Any treatments that produce unacceptable side effects can be immediately terminated. This will allow for aggressive, yet safe, self-experimentation.</p>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="http://www.withings.com/bloodpressuremonitor" target="new">Withings</a> blood pressure monitor provides easy and precise self-measurement of your blood pressure and heart rate.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.zephyr-technology.com/products/hxm-bluetooth-heart-rate-monitor/" target="new">Zephyr HxM</a> heart rate sensor in conjunction with the app <a href="http://www.myfitnesscompanion.com/" target="new">My Fitness Companion</a> can track your pulse to identify if it drifts outside acceptable ranges.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.zensorium.com/tinke/" target="new">Tinké</a> can measure heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation to quantify cardiorespiratory wellness.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.zephyr-technology.com/products/bioharness-3/" target="new">Zephry BioHarness</a> is pretty damn expensive, but it can provide an electrocardiogram (ECG), determine one's R-R interval, breathing rate, monitor posture, activity level, and measure peak acceleration. </li>
</ul>
<h2>Quantifying Effectiveness of Treatments</h2>
<p><a href="http://quantimodo.com/" target="new">Quantimodo</a> can help by synergizing, visualizing, and analyzing the cacophony data to identify correlations between specific input factors and treatments (independent variables) and mood outcomes (dependent variables). The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_product-moment_correlation_coefficient" target="new">Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient</a> derived from an XY scatterplot of input behaviours and output states can quantify the effectiveness of various treatments.</p>
<p>The human mind is not powerful enough to keep track of the countless factors that go into producing an emotional state. Timeline graphical analysis can help to identify potential confounding uncontrolled variables that may be contaminating the results of an experiment. </p>
<p>Fine-grained, personalized minimum effective dosages can be established. Degrees of drug tolerance and withdrawal symptoms can be quantified. By integrating the area under the mood curves, true cost-benefit analyses weighing therapeutic benefits against adverse effects can be performed. </p>
<h2>Crowdsourcing Positive Psychology Research</h2>
<p>Data can be anonymized and aggregated with the data from other users suffering from the same subtype of mental illness. Effectiveness rates can then be extrapolated from user data. The best available defense against the possibility of spurious results due to confounding is often to dispense with efforts at stratification and instead conduct a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomization" title="Randomization">randomized study</a> of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers" title="Law of large numbers">sufficiently large</a> sample taken as a whole, such that all potential confounding variables (known and unknown) will be distributed by chance across all study groups and hence will be uncorrelated with the binary variable for inclusion/exclusion in any group. Over time, this data collection can recursively improve the accuracy of the presented effectiveness rates for the various treatments. </p>

<h2>Genetics</h2>
<p>Eventually, genetic information provided by services such as <a href="http://refer.23andme.com/a/clk/38Bqvg">23andMe</a> will help predict not only an individual patient's response to some medications, but also the likelihood of <a href="http://blog.lexi.com/blog/drug-interaction-data" target="_blank">drug interactions</a> and adverse effects.</p>
<h2>The End of Mental Illness</h2>
<p>Adequate exercise, diet, and sleep in conjunction with appropriate pharmacological measures and other treatments can and will eradicate mental illness from the face of the earth. All we need is our will and the scientific method.</p>
