Biomarkers are sold as the future of medicine — earlier diagnoses, personalized treatment, objective tracking of disease — but the science behind that promise is shakier than the marketing suggests. This episode pulls apart where biomarkers genuinely help versus where they fail to predict what actually matters: quality of life and long-term survival. The gap is even wider in psychology and psychiatry, where reaching for a biological number risks turning complex human conditions into oversimplified metrics. We make the case for treating biomarkers as fallible tools that demand skepticism and clinical judgment, not as shortcuts to certainty.
