GeneSight Genetic Testing
Introduction
GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your genetics may influence the way your body processes certain antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and other psychiatric drugs. The results give your provider a clearer starting point — rather than guessing through trial and error.
What Contributes to This
GeneSight testing is especially useful when:
- You've tried multiple medications with limited benefit or difficult side effects
- You're starting a new medication and want to reduce the guesswork
- Your treatment history is complex, with several past medication changes
- You simply want more personalized information behind your prescribing decisions

Results typically return within a few business days, organized into clear categories showing which medications are likely to work well, require dose adjustments, or carry higher risk for you specifically.
