Personalized Antidepressant Selection Tool, PETRUSHKA, Prolongs Persistence in MDD

Summary: Many people with depression stop taking their medicine because of bad side effects. Finding the right pill often feels like a guessing game. Now, a new web-based tool called PETRUSHKA is helping doctors and patients choose the best antidepressant.

Patients rank which side effects they want to avoid the most, and the tool's algorithm picks the perfect match. A recent study showed that people using PETRUSHKA were much less likely to quit their medicine after 8 weeks compared to standard care. By 24 weeks, they also had fewer signs of depression and anxiety. It takes the guesswork out of feeling better!
