Personalized Psychiatric Treatment Through Genetic Testing
Genesight pharmacogenetic testing analyzes how your DNA affects medication metabolism, helping your psychiatrist select the most effective medications with fewer side effects.
What is Genesight Genetic Testing?
Genesight is a pharmacogenetic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations in your DNA. It provides your psychiatrist with objective information about how your body may process and respond to specific psychiatric medications.
Reduces trial and error in medication selection
Identifies potential side effects based on your genetic profile
Guides dosing for optimal therapeutic levels
How Genetic Testing Works
A simple, painless process that provides powerful insights for your treatment.
Simple Cheek Swab
A quick, painless buccal swab collects DNA from your cheek cells. No blood draws required.
Laboratory Analysis
Your sample is sent to the Genesight lab where scientists analyze key pharmacogenetic markers.
Comprehensive Report
Within days, your psychiatrist receives a detailed report categorizing medications by your genetic compatibility.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your provider uses the report to select medications with the highest likelihood of efficacy and tolerability.
Genesight Analyzes:
- Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs)
- Antipsychotics
- Mood stabilizers
- ADHD medications
- Anti-anxiety medications
Benefits of Pharmacogenetic Testing
Faster Results
Find the right medication sooner, reducing the frustration of trial-and-error prescribing.
Fewer Side Effects
Avoid medications your body may process poorly, reducing adverse reactions.
Better Outcomes
Increased likelihood of response to first-line treatments.
Saves Time
One-time test provides lifetime insights for medication selection.
How Genesight Helps Medication Selection
The Genesight report categorizes medications into color-coded groups:
🟢 Green Bin
Medications with expected normal metabolism and lower gene-drug interaction risk.
🟡 Yellow Bin
Medications with moderate gene-drug interactions that may require dose adjustments.
🔴 Red Bin
Medications with significant gene-drug interactions that may lead to side effects or reduced efficacy.
