Optimal Mental Health Virtual Clinic is committed to providing personalized and effective mental health care. To enhance our treatment approach, we are pleased to offer GeneSight Genetic Testing, a cutting-edge tool that helps tailor psychiatric medication plans to your unique genetic profile.
What is GeneSight Genetic Testing?
GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your genes may affect your body’s response to medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. By understanding your genetic makeup, we can identify which medications are more likely to work well for you and which may require adjustments.
Why Choose GeneSight?
- Personalized Treatment: Gain insights into which medications may be more effective and have fewer side effects based on your genetic profile.
- Informed Decisions: Make treatment decisions with confidence, reducing the trial-and-error process often associated with finding the right medication.
- Improved Outcomes: Experience potentially faster and more effective relief from symptoms with a treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
How Does It Work?
- Simple Process: The test involves a quick and painless cheek swab that can be done in our office.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Your DNA sample is sent to the GeneSight lab, where it is analyzed for genetic markers that influence medication response.
- Actionable Results: In a few days, we receive a detailed report that helps guide your treatment plan, which we will discuss with you during your follow-up appointment.
