Genetic Testing

By analyzing your unique genetic profile, we can identify how your body may respond to specific medications, helping us optimize your care and minimize potential side effects.

What Is Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing, specifically pharmacogenomics, examines how your genetic makeup influences your response to medications. This information allows us to tailor your treatment, ensuring the best possible outcomes with fewer trial-and-error adjustments. Our partner, Genomind, provides state-of-the-art pharmacogenetic testing, delivering comprehensive insights while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and depth.

Benefits of Genetic Testing

Genetic testing offers several advantages, including:

  • Improved Medication Response: Identify which medications may work best for you.

  • Fewer Side Effects: Avoid adverse reactions by selecting the most compatible treatments.

  • Optimized Dosages: Find the right medication dosage for your needs.

  • Streamlined Treatment Process: Reduce the trial-and-error period often associated with psychiatric care.

 

This innovative approach empowers you and your provider to make informed decisions about your mental health treatment.
