Medication trial and error can feel frustrating.
We know the process of finding medications for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety or ADHD can be time-consuming and debilitating. The GeneSight® test may help.
The GeneSight test must be ordered by your healthcare provider or nurse practitioner. The test is a simple cheek swab taken in your healthcare provider’s office or can be sent by your healthcare provider to be taken in the convenience of your home.
A comprehensive report,
personalized for you.
The GeneSight test report may help you avoid multiple medication trials by providing information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic information.
The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications.
