Abstract
Current mental health treatment relies on provider and patient experiences, causing success to be ill-defined and inconsistent. Likewise, the risk of ADRs are unpredictable, especially when polypharmacy is implicated. This systematic review revealed the efficacy of pharmacogenetic-guided treatment (PGx) in the response and remission rates of adults suffering from MDD and GAD. Further research needs to be done with other disorders and age groups. Barriers to its incorporation into practice include cost and provider comfortability.
