How can we realize the promise of personalized antidepressant medicines?

Holsboer, Florian·2008·Nature Reviews Neuroscience

Abstract

Personalized medication that is based on pharmacogenetic data has long been expected to improve the efficacy of treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including depression. However, the complexity of the regulation of gene transcription and its interactions with environmental factors means that straightforward translation of individual genetic information into tailored treatment is unlikely. Nevertheless, when data from genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, neuroimaging and neuroendocrinology are used in combination, they could lead to the development of effective personalized antidepressant treatment that is based on both genotypes and biomarkers. This process will require many further steps and collaboration between basic and clinical neuroscience.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Although the problem of generalizability is smaller in psychotherapy research, and the efficacy of psychotherapies appears of similar magnitude between high- and low-/middle-income countries when tested in randomised trials, generalizability of research to practice needs attention in this area too.

    “Although this problem is smaller in psychotherapy research, 589,590 and the efficacy of psychotherapies appears of similar magnitude between high- and low-/middle-income countries when they are tested in randomised trials, 585 generalizability of research to practice needs attention in this area too.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
