Genetic Testing
When clinically appropriate, genetic testing can help identify how your body may process certain psychiatric medications, allowing for more informed treatment decisions and reducing the trial-and-error approach to medication selection.

Does genetic testing tell me exactly which medication to take?
No. Results provide guidance about how your body may process certain medications. Your provider combines this information with your symptoms, history, and clinical judgment to recommend the best options.
Is genetic testing covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team can help you understand options and whether testing is appropriate for your situation before proceeding.
Who is a good candidate for psychiatric genetic testing?
Testing may be helpful for individuals who have not responded well to previous medications or who have experienced significant side effects. Your provider will discuss whether it is right for you.
