Abstract:
Individualized medicine is the ultimate aim of many medical specialties. Attempts to individualize psychopharmacology have focused on the genetic polymorphisms of neurotransmitter- and CNS-related genes. While there have been numerous reports on the discovery of possible genetic differences in various psychiatric disorders, clinical psychopharmacology has not yet significantly benefited from such data. At present, individualized psychopharmacology in practice is still largely the choice of drugs with the least side effects for a particular patient.
