Have you:
- Tried several psychiatric medications without adequate improvement?
- Experienced significant or difficult-to-tolerate side effects?
- Had a medication work initially but become less effective over time?
GeneSight Psychotropic testing analyzes how certain genetic variations may affect your response to psychiatric medications. The results can provide additional information about potential gene–drug interactions, medication metabolism, and possible dosing considerations, helping your provider make more informed treatment decisions.
GeneSight is used as one tool alongside your clinical history, symptoms, previous medication response, and other factors when developing your treatment plan.
How It Works:
- 01A DNA sample is collected with a quick, painless cheek swab that takes just a few seconds.
- 02The sample is sent to a laboratory for processing and analysis.
- 03Your provider will receive the results within 2–3 business days.
- 04Your provider will review and discuss the results with you during a follow-up appointment.
- 05For added convenience, your provider can also order a test kit to be shipped directly to your home.
Cost & Insurance: For questions about coverage or out-of-pocket costs, please contact GeneSight directly, as costs vary by insurance plan.
