GeneSight Testing
GeneSight Testing
GeneSight Testing is a genetic test that analyzes your DNA to understand how your body metabolizes certain medications. By examining specific genetic variations, this test helps identify the most effective medications for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The process involves a simple cheek swab, which is then sent to a lab for analysis. The results provide valuable insights that guide doctors in selecting medications that are more likely to be effective and cause fewer side effects based on your unique genetic makeup.
GeneSight Testing is ideal for individuals who have experienced difficulties in finding the right medication for their mental health conditions. It is particularly beneficial for those who have tried multiple medications without success. Results from GeneSight Testing are typically available within a few weeks and can help create a more personalized treatment plan.
