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
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.
