Summary
This study looks at whether using a child's genetic information can help doctors choose the right psychiatric medication with fewer side effects. About 6,000 children and young adults aged 6 to 24 who are starting or changing mental health medications will provide a saliva sample for genetic testing. Researchers will track side effects, symptom improvement, and healthcare use to see if this personalized approach works better than standard care.
