Do You Order Pharmacogenetic Testing?

In this podcast episode, we question whether pharmacogenetic testing is valuable in psychiatry practice. Joined by Dr. Simon Kung and Dr. Michael Thase, we find answers to this question! Key Points: Pharmacogenetic (PGX) testing aims to aid clinical decision making by detecting genetic polymorphisms in the patient’s DNA. Use PGX testing in patients with treatment-resistant depression and patients experiencing unusual side effects. It is important to set realistic expectations to patients about PGX testing and to clearly communicate the results.
