Extract

Personalizing medicine by understanding the unique properties of each patient's genome has the potential of predicting what drug to prescribe for that individual. This approach has already proven useful for several drugs in medicine and promises to become a strategy for selection of therapeutics in psychiatry soon. Understanding some of the key concepts, strategies, and advances in the field of pharmacogenomics can set the stage for adapting emerging findings to the practice of psychopharmacology.
