A. Psychiatric pharmacogenomic testing can inform treatment decisions but it does not determine the likelihood of a cure. Mental illness is complex and often requires multimodal treatment approaches beyond medication alone.

D. Psychiatric pharmacogenomic testing does not determine the cause of mental illness. Mental illnesses are multifactorial and have complex etiologies involving genetic, biological, environmental, and psychosocial factors.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

You know you want to!" is suggestive and inappropriate in a professional healthcare setting. It indicates a lack of understanding or disregard for appropriate social boundaries and may be a manifestation of the client's serious mental illness.
