Today\'s YGYG (You Get The Gist) is focusing on the promise of there being genetic tests that would help your doctor choose the most effective medication for you. It\'s exciting to consider due to the fact that many people have to try several medications before finding one that works for them - while at the same time managing ongoing mental and emotional problems. But there\'s lots of debate and new research happening - so here\'s a rundown from the experts. I\'d certainly recommend that you talk to your doctor about it!
