It's like the article is saying there's a correlation between this gene and a list of mental health disorders - anxiety or even psychosis - but the disorders are not necessarily correlated with the gene, they occur in people without the gene. I just read through the article once.
I'm a bit jaded, I don't have a high opinion of a medicated society if that's what its coming down to. Too dystopian, like Soma in Brave New World, or people being arrested for "criminal drug evasion" like in the movie THX 1138.
I'd argue it's pretty hard to care about the society when your main goal is to avoid the shadow people demanding you lick the cactus. More drugs - more people with enough time to care.
Turn on, tune in, drop out
And of course the medical treatment will be very expensive without having very expensive health insurance.
