When Camille Schrier was young, she struggled with her mental health.
And as she got older the worse it became.
When she was in college, she struggled with obsessive compulsive thoughts and disordered eating.
She even switched colleges and moved closer to home because her mental health condition was not being managed.
Her parents took her to a treatment facility and she was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and an eating disorder.
It was difficult for her to get on the right medication and dose.
Until she learned about pharmacogenomic testing.
Results:
her doctor found the right medications for her
she found out she had been on the wrong medication since 2014
