I think what will happen is new drugs will emerge and then they will test you genetically to see what sub type you are and match the most effective drug to you.
This is much different than the current test that tells you how you will metabolize the drugs that exist and which one have less side effects. It doesn't tell you how effective.
Personalized medicine based on genetic sub types is already happening in other areas such as cancer.
Also ways of delivering drugs to exactly where you want them so they don't affect the whole body. This is already happening with delivering drugs straight to the tumor and only the tumor. No chemo side effects like losing your hair.
I'll check out your links. I have a whole list of them on genetics and mental illness.
