Schedule your psychiatry appointment and get a free genetic test for personalized depression and anxiety treatment.
Pharmacogenomics (also called pharmacogenetics or PGx) is the study of how your genes affect your body's response to medication. Your genes play a direct role in how your body metabolizes medications, including psychiatric medications like antidepressants.
Each individual is offered a saliva-based genetic test before their first appointment because it leads to better outcomes on average for people with depression or anxiety.
DNA testing highlights some of the medications that may cause bad reactions. Doctors use this to make a more informed prescription.
DNA testing reduces the risk of adverse drug reactions like weight gain, nausea and loss of libido.
Expect fewer side effects when genetics informs your care.
There's still hope! Your genetics can help you find a better treatment plan.
