A personal approach to treatment is the key to advances in psychiatry

Abstract

The search for the means to identify patients most likely to respond to specific treatments is the ultimate goal in many areas of medicine, and psychiatry is no exception. Delegates at the Latest Advances in Psychiatry symposium held in London in March heard about work within the fields of dementia, depression and addiction that may bring that goal closer to a reality.
