Medication That Fits
Your Biology
Not every medication works the same way for every person. Genetic testing looks at how your body metabolizes certain psychiatric medications, giving your provider extra information to work with when building your treatment plan. Two people with the same diagnosis can respond completely differently to the same prescription, and genetics is often part of the reason why.
It’s a simple cheek swab or a screen draw, and results typically come back within a couple of weeks. This isn’t a replacement for a thorough evaluation. It’s one more tool your provider can use alongside it.
Who Might Benefit
Is Genetic Testing
Right For You?
Genetic testing is especially useful if you’ve tried multiple medications with limited success, experienced significant side effects, or want more clarity before starting a new prescription. If you’ve felt like treatment has been trial and error for longer than it should be, this can help narrow that process down.
Your provider will discuss whether testing makes sense for your specific situation and walk you through what the results mean once they’re back, in plain language, not just a lab report.
