Abstract

Pharmacogenomic variability in antidepressant metabolism plays a crucial role in the differential effectiveness and side-effect profiles of antidepressant therapies in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This study investigates the longitudinal relationship between genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzymes, primarily cytochrome P450 enzymes, and the clinical outcomes of antidepressant treatment in MDD. By analyzing genetic polymorphisms in enzymes such as CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, the study provides insight into how these variations impact treatment responses. Our findings suggest that personalized treatment strategies, informed by pharmacogenomic testing, may improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce adverse effects in MDD patients. This research underscores the importance of considering pharmacogenomic data in clinical decision-making to optimize antidepressant therapy for MDD.
