Personalized Medicine in Depression

Though depression is one of the most prevalent mental illnesses that psychiatric practitioners will face, response to treatment is variable and largely unpredictable.  During this session, Dr. Madhukar Trivedi, MD will identify characteristics which may predict treatment response.  He will also highlight ways to “personalize” the treatment of depression to an individual.  Lastly, Dr. Trivedi will highlight current and future research that focuses on identifying specific predictors of treatment response, such as biomarkers, genes or neuroimaging.
