Genes can make a difference in treatment.
Because of individual genetic makeup, not everyone responds the same way to drugs used by patients. Depending on their genetics, patients may fail to respond to a prescribed treatment because of how their body responds to a particular medicine.
Creating a genetic profile for an individual can inform which prescribed treatment is likely to work best. This approach to genetic-informed therapy is a new approach used to prescribe medicines for depression, anxiety, and other mental conditions.
Genetic testing provides another tool to help healthcare providers identify the most effective treatment for their patients. By linking genes with treatments, physicians can determine the medication that offers the best treatment with side effects.
Let us help you identify the right genetic match.
The genetic testing we employ analyzes clinically significant genetic variations in your DNA, providing valuable insights into how you may respond to certain medications. This information allows your provider to tailor your treatment more effectively.
The process is straightforward: You collect a DNA sample by painlessly swabbing the inside of your cheek. We send this sample to the lab for analysis, and your provider typically receives the results within about two days. With this information, they can fine-tune your treatment plan for better outcomes.
Medications affect individuals differently, and genetic testing can shed light on how you may respond to commonly prescribed drugs such as antidepressants (SSRI, SNRI, and NDRI medication), benzodiazepines, and stimulants.
This personalized approach to medication management ensures that your treatment is optimized to suit your unique genetic makeup. Please get in touch with us for more information on our genetic-informed treatment consultation.
