The problem is, none of that has lead to any actual treatments. It's sort of nice to know that gene 1 leads to depression at x% rate. Or gene 2 means people get dementia sooner. But until there is a pill to prevent or treat that we are no where. Until then, you need to do more, not less experimentation.
I guess this is the difference between scientific progress and medical progress. We have made very little of the latter in these fields.

But we currently have the best standard of care for mental health in all of human history: "The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly effective; between 70 and 90 percent of individuals have a significant reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life with a combination of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments and supports." https://namica.org/what-is-mental-illness/ https://namica.org/what-is-mental-illness/
