Your mental “state” is a complex symphony of constant mind/body interactions. Physical changes can cause mental changes and vice-versa. While genetics play a foundational role, aspects of your daily life since birth, such as family environment, diet, physical aspects and sensory inputs, all combine into your “self” at any given point in time. Some inputs have greater effect, some lesser; but make no mistake, everything counts and a deep assessment requires many measurable factors. YMI is the only online mental health assessment that combines genetics, physical aspects, family histories, childhood & adolescent environments, life experiences and lifestyles to inform artificial intelligence in predicting the likelihood of multiple common mental conditions. YMI is highly-advanced.
Even 20 questions that each has only 4 potential answers generates billions of combinations, all of which should be considered when doing a thorough assessment. YMI has over 250 questions and 900 potential answers and this means trillions of potential combinations. The human mind is simply not capable of doing this, but machines accomplish this will no interruption, speed, accuracy and consistency. YMI is a human-machine hybrid combining the best aspects of each to generate deeper insights possible by humans alone.
YMI uses genetic expressions, childhood environment, traumas, phobias, physical attributes and afflictions, life experiences and lifestyle choices to create unique biometric signatures that are the basis for the deep diagnosis. But it doesn’t stop there; after a signature is defined, expert-guided artificial intelligence correlates the signature with a unique Reference Database to generate probabilities of multiple common mental conditions, not only for today, but forward into the future. YMI’s most powerful feature may be that it allows a person to change lifestyle answers to see the predicted effect of the changes on mental conditions going forward in time. No other online mental health assessment system can do this.
YMI uses highly-informed, holistic, multiple-expert-guided-AI mental health algorithms to predict mental condition probabilities to inform diagnostic evaluation. Only a qualified medical professional is permitted to provide a formal diagnosis. Should you see a Doctor or Psychotherapist we encourage you to take your YMI Report with you.
Digital health monitors can only tell you about your current situation, and while genealogical DNA tests can detect genetic predispositions toward certain health conditions, they don’t take lived experiences into account. What’s happened in your past informs your future, and without those details these types of tests are extremely limited in their accuracy. YMI considers genetic implications alongside your lived experience to generate deeply informed predictions.
After completing the initial assessment, you can always ask YMI “what if?” by changing your answers and comparing the results to your initial Report. For example, if you wanted to see what would happen after a major injury 10 years from now, you can go back into the assessment and change your age group and relevant answers. This is a powerful YMI feature that no other system has.
