Genetic Testing
Pharmacogenomic testing is a ground-breaking, researched tool to help with medication management. Genetic Psychotropic tests will offer clues about how your body responds to medications. Since each person metabolizes medications differently, these results will help your providers make better choices in medications to prescribe.
The intention to using the Psychotropic tests is to reduce negative side effects and reduce symptoms without the standard trial and error approach to medication selection.

About GeneSight
About the GeneSight Test:
GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations that may affect your outcomes with certain medications. The results of the test can show which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work, or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup. You can find more information about the GeneSight test at www.genesight.com/product.
GeneSight Psychotropic Clinical Studies:
There are seven published peer-reviewed studies showing the clinical validity, clinical utility and economic utility of the GeneSight Psychotropic test. In the GUIDED study, patients in the GeneSight arm saw a 50% relative improvement in remission rates versus treatment as usual. You can learn more about the clinical evidence supporting the use of the GeneSight Psychotropic test at www.genesight.com/clinical-studies.
