The role of epigenetics in mental health is examined, highlighting how genetic factors can influence treatment responses and the development of future therapies. Epigenetic changes, which affect gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence, can significantly impact mental health conditions. Understanding these mechanisms may lead to more personalized treatments, as therapies could be tailored to an individual’s specific genetic and epigenetic profile. This approach holds considerable promise for enhancing the effectiveness of treatments and providing new avenues for addressing mental health disorders.
