What is GeneSight Testing?
GeneSight® is a non-invasive genetic test that analyzes how your genes may affect your response to over 60 FDA-approved psychiatric medications, including:
- Antidepressants
- Antipsychotics
- Mood stabilizers
- ADHD medications
- Anti-anxiety medications
This test can reveal how your body metabolizes specific medications, helping us understand which treatments may be more effective or more likely to cause side effects.
