Inflammatory and Oxidative Biological Profiles in Mental Disorders: Perspectives on Diagnostics and Personalized Therapy.

Personalized psychiatry represents an innovative therapeutic approach that integrates biological, genetic, and clinical data to optimize the treatment of mental disorders. Laboratory diagnostics play a fundamental role in this process by providing precise biomarkers that characterize pathophysiological mechanisms such as neuroinflammatory processes, oxidative stress, dysfunction of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, as well as disturbances in neuroplasticity and neurodegeneration. This article discusses the use of advanced analytical techniques, such as immunoenzymatic assays for pro-inflammatory cytokines (Interleukin-1β- IL-1β; Interleukin-6-IL-6; Interleukin-18-IL-18; and Tumor Necrosis Factor- α - TNF-α). It also emphasizes the role of pharmacogenomic diagnostics in the individualization of psychotropic therapy. Interdisciplinary collaboration between laboratory diagnosticians and clinicians supports the potential for multidimensional analysis of biomarker data in a clinical context, which supports precise patient profiling and monitoring of treatment responses. Despite progress, there are limitations, such as the lack of standardization in measurement methods, insufficient biomarker validation, and limited availability of tests in clinical practice. Development prospects include the integration of multi-marker panels, the use of point-of-care diagnostics, and the implementation of artificial intelligence tools for the analysis of multidimensional data. As a result, laboratory diagnostics are becoming an integral element of personalized psychiatry, enabling a better understanding of the neurobiology of mental disorders and the implementation of more effective therapeutic strategies.
