- - Conducted between 2010 and 2016, the research involved 80 participants, split into two groups: one that received pharmacogenetic testing for therapy selection and one that did not.
- - Results indicated that the group with pharmacogenetic testing showed significantly better clinical outcomes, including improved depression scores, better overall functioning, and fewer side effects, suggesting the importance of personalized treatment approaches in managing these disorders.
