Use Genetic Insights For Medication Decisions
GeneSight Pharmacogenomic Testing
GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing provides genetic information that may help inform decisions about certain psychiatric medications. It can be considered when developing or reviewing a medication treatment plan for mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions.
What to Expect
The testing process involves genetic analysis designed to identify how your individual genetic profile may influence your response to certain psychiatric medications. These results provide additional information that can be considered alongside your symptoms, treatment history, current medications, and other clinical factors.
Supporting Medication Decisions
Genetic information may help your provider make more informed medication recommendations by providing insight into how your body may respond to specific medications. This can be useful when considering medication options as part of an individualized treatment plan.
An Additional Tool In Your Care
Pharmacogenomic testing is one part of the medication-management process rather than a standalone answer to treatment decisions. Your results can be reviewed in the context of your individual mental health needs and discussed as part of a collaborative approach to determining appropriate medication options.
The goal is to provide additional information that can support more individualized psychiatric medication planning and potentially reduce some of the trial-and-error involved in finding an appropriate medication.
