I'm looking for an epigenetic database which includes for each example the psychological history of the persons DNA. Right now I can only find DNA and epigenetic databases. Sadly none of the databases provide "thick data" (qualitative data eg. history of person) to the sequenced DNA.

I want to investigate the effects of psychology on epigenetic and vice versa.

  • $\begingroup$ I would be very surprised if such a thing exists. Apart from the privacy issues (OK, you can anonymize the data), there aren't to my knowledge any projects for such large scale sequencing of human samples. The closest I can think of is the 1000 genomes project but I doubt any psychological data will be included. $\endgroup$

You might want to look at the Danish Data archive:

http://www.sa.dk/content/us/about_us/danish_data_archive

I have never used their data and I don't know what barriers there might be to accessing it, but the impression I got at a talk by Soren Brunak (http://ctbr.hunter.cuny.edu/Brunak), was that this was one of the most complete databases for studying relationships between people's DNA records and other health information that might be available about them.
