A member asked:
How come anti-depressants have varied effects on different people.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nature and Nurture: The genetics of a person and the way that they were raised to look at medicine will influence the treatment response. There are individual differences in the capacity of someone to tolerate side effects, for example. And there are some individuals who will have certain genetically determined characteristics that influence the speed that the liver metabolizes medicine to the form that is active.
