Useful, I have a deep understanding of this. I have been suffering from depression for two or three years. After the diagnosis, the doctor has been prescribing medicine for me, and the effect is intermittent. Sometimes the mood is very unstable, so I can only take valium to help me sleep, and the problem has not improved much. Six months ago, when I went for a reexamination, the doctor asked me to go to Li Kang Medical College for genetic testing of drugs. At first I didn't understand the purpose, but the doctor told me to do it. After finishing, I found that the antidepressants I had taken before metabolized quickly, that is, they didn't last long, so the treatment effect was intermittent, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Then the doctor made a new medication plan for me based on the genetic test data. I changed two medicines, and I ate less than before. After eating for a while, I feel different, so I feel less heavy and relaxed. When I went for a checkup last month, the doctor said that I am recovering well now, and it will be better if I stick to it.
So I think this genetic test is still very useful, and it is also necessary to do one for depression. If you don't do it, it is estimated that you are still taking drugs before. If the effect is not good, it is a waste of money.
