Pharmacogenetics integrates the study of genomics and pharmacology to understand differential response to medications and clinical interventions. Psychiatric pharmacogenetics applies this study to mental health. This presentation focuses on several genetic variants that have been shown to moderate treatment response with a particular emphasis on how these variations may direct clinicians to certain integrative therapies (e.g., exercise, Omega-3 fatty acids, L-methylfolate, etc.). Both pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic gene variants are discussed.
