GeneSight

GeneSight

GeneSight® is an advanced pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your unique genetic makeup may influence your body’s response to mental health medications such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and ADHD treatments. Using a simple cheek swab, the test evaluates multiple genes involved in drug metabolism and receptor activity to help identify which medications may be more or less compatible with your biology. The results, presented in an easy-to-read report, categorize medications by potential gene-drug interactions—offering valuable insights that can support your clinician in making more personalized and effective treatment decisions. While GeneSight is not a diagnostic test or a guarantee of medication success, it serves as a powerful tool to help reduce the trial-and-error process and guide a more informed approach to mental health care.
