Abstract
Drug response and side effect development have been shown to vary significantly amongst individuals receiving pharmacotherapy for neuropsychiatric diseases including depression. As a fundamental component of personalized medicine, pharmacogenetics seeks to maximize treatment based on each patient's unique genetic profile by focusing on genetic variants implicated in pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic processes. Pharmacodynamic variability is the outcome of an active drug's fluctuating interactions with its target molecules, while pharmacokinetic variability is the consequence of changes in a drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination.
