DNA/Genetic
Testing for Medication
GeneSight Psychotropic Testing is an at-home DNA analysis of your genetic makeup, that will determine the metabolism, risk of side effects and the best match for YOU related to psychiatric medications. We trust and use this testing for mood disorders, ADHD, and psychotic disorders that require antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics and more.
​
Often in psychiatry, there is lots of trial and error. GeneSight testing takes the guesswork out of the process
and allows you to feel better sooner, so you can start living life and and enjoying your friends a family. This is highly recommended for patients seeking traditional medication management.
The test is a simple cheek swab that you do in the comfort of your own home. It is returned to the lab via pre-paid FeEx shipping.
