GeneSight Testing

Measuring What Matters to Support Your Mind

Integrative Mental Health Support

In addition to traditional psychiatric treatments, we offer supplement recommendations to support mental health, adopting a holistic approach to care. Our team provides expert guidance on supplements that may aid in managing symptoms and enhancing overall mental and physical wellness. For laboratory testing, we primarily utilize Quest Diagnostics, ensuring reliable and comprehensive lab services to support our diagnostic and treatment processes.

Genetic Testing for Personalized Psychiatry

Additionally, we provide the GeneSight Psychotropic test, a genetic assessment that helps your provider understand how your genes may influence medication efficacy and metabolism of certain psychotropic drugs. This testing can identify necessary dose adjustments, medications that may be less effective or require higher doses, and those with an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic profile!

How GeneSight Works

Genesight genetic testing is an innovative tool that analyzes an individual’s genetic makeup to identify how their body processes and interacts with certain medications. This test provides valuable insights into how genetic variations may impact medication metabolism, efficacy, and potential side effects. By examining specific genes involved in drug metabolism and neurotransmitter pathways, Genesight testing offers personalized guidance for psychiatric medication management.

Personalized Psychiatry Based on Your DNA

Genetic testing is a valuable tool that uncovers essential insights into the interplay between your genetic makeup and medications. These tests provide detailed information on how your genes influence the metabolism and response to specific medications commonly prescribed for mental health conditions. At Roundtree Mental Health Group, we utilize cutting-edge genetic testing services such as GeneSight to inform our medication management approach. By analyzing your genetic profile, we can identify the most suitable medications and dosages tailored to your individual genetic requirements. This personalized approach enhances treatment effectiveness, minimizes the risk of adverse reactions, and optimizes your mental health outcomes.

Targeted medication selection and improved outcomes

Genetic testing operates by examining your DNA, which plays a pivotal role in determining how your body processes medications. By analyzing specific genes relevant to drug metabolism and response, genetic testing offers valuable insights into how your body may interact with medications prescribed by the psychiatry team at RMHG. This analysis identifies genetic variations that may influence drug metabolism, efficacy, and potential side effects. Armed with this information, our team can personalize your treatment plan, selecting medications that are more likely to be effective and well-tolerated based on your genetic profile. Through this tailored approach, genetic testing helps optimize medication selection and enhances treatment outcomes for improved mental health.

The psychotropic panel specifically evaluates liver enzymes responsible for metabolizing neuropsychiatric medications, providing valuable insights into how you may respond to specific prescriptions. We utilize the psychotropic panel and MTHFR gene test to evaluate your needs.
