PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
About half of the people who take antidepressants do not respond -- and many patients experience adverse effects. These outcomes may be partially attributed to the impact of an individual’s genetic profile. Understanding the neurobiology of depression and using a pharmacogenomic decision-support tool, clinicians could provide personalized healthcare designed to improve antidepressant therapy outcomes. In this presentation, the evidence, evolution and current state of antidepressant pharmacogenetic decision support tools is reviewed. A series of considerations for clinicians contemplating use of these tools is presented in the context of contemporary NP practice.
