Testing for genes that produce liver enzymes is not saying that the depression is caused by genetics. Although is my case I think it is.
So there is the complex and multiple causes of depression that make the whole issue of genetic testing very difficult.
Then there is the fact that the drugs in the arsenal are not that effective for many people. There are some studies that say no more effective than placebo. But the clinical data seems to dispute that and says they are effective in 50% of the people. I tend to go with clinical data rather then a couple of clinical trials.
