The GeneSight Psychotropic is a pharmacogenomic test (multigene panel) that uses a proprietary algorithm to evaluate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships and analyzes clinically meaningful genetic variations in your DNA. Results can inform your provider about how you may break down or respond to certain medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions. Testing can potentially help guide efficient medication selection or dosing.

Our bodies use symptoms, whether mental or physical, to tell us that we are ill. But to understand the meaning behind those symptoms, we must listen to and understand another language through which our imbalanced physiology speaks – biochemistry. Laboratory (blood work) testing is one way those biochemical messages can be audible. Our approach to uncovering these imbalances is scientific by gathering objective laboratory data that may include a close examination of an individual's nutritional status, hormone levels, gastrointestinal function, energy metabolism, immune system, environmental toxin exposure, and genetic profile.
