Abstract

Personalized psychiatry integrates individual biological, psychological, and social dimensions to design targeted interventions, representing a paradigm shift in mental health care. However, comparative evidence on personalized versus standard treatments in routine clinical settings remains sparse. This cross-sectional study examines the effectiveness of personalized psychiatric care, utilizing pharmacogenomic profiling, neuroimaging, and tailored psychotherapeutic approaches, compared to standard treatments for patients with mood and anxiety disorders. The study enrolled 600 patients from urban and rural mental health centers, divided into a personalized psychiatry group and a standard treatment group. Outcomes were assessed using validated scales, including the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7). Key measures included remission rates, time to symptom improvement, and patient satisfaction. Results demonstrated significantly superior outcomes in the personalized treatment group, with remission rates of 65% compared to 45% in the standard group (p < 0.01). Median time to remission was reduced by 40%, and satisfaction scores were markedly higher. Subgroup analysis highlighted enhanced benefits for individuals with comorbid conditions such as substance use disorders. These findings underscore the effectiveness of personalized psychiatric approaches in achieving better clinical outcomes and greater patient satisfaction. Broader adoption of such interventions could revolutionize mental health care, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies to evaluate their sustainability and scalability
