Dna-guided Psychiatric Medication With Pharmacogenetic Testing

Finding the right psychiatric medication can involve trial and error. Pharmacogenetic testing uses a simple cheek swab to analyze your DNA and provide insight into how your body metabolizes different medications, helping your psychiatrist make more informed prescribing decisions.

At Empathy Health Clinic, our psychiatrists use pharmacogenetic test results alongside clinical evaluation to optimize your medication plan. This approach can reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes.

When Pharmacogenetic Testing Helps

Previous medication side effects or poor response
Starting psychiatric medication for the first time
Treatment-resistant depression or anxiety
Taking multiple medications
Wanting to reduce trial-and-error prescribing
Family history of medication sensitivity

How Pharmacogenetic Testing Works

Simple Cheek Swab Collection

Testing requires only a painless cheek swab that can be done in our office during a regular appointment. No blood draw needed.

Comprehensive Gene Analysis

The test analyzes genes that affect how your body processes psychiatric medications including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, and ADHD medications.

Personalized Medication Guidance

Your psychiatrist reviews the results and uses them alongside your clinical assessment to select medications most likely to work well for you.

Insurance & Affordability

Many insurance plans cover pharmacogenetic testing. Testing companies also offer financial assistance programs for patients without coverage.
