Genetic Testing (Pharmacogenomic Testing)
Pharmacogenomic testing provides a personalized, scientific approach to understanding how your genetics interact with specific psychiatric medications. While this testing is not essential for every client, it can be an invaluable tool in certain situations, particularly for those who have faced challenges with medication effectiveness or experienced troublesome side effects.
By uncovering how your genetic makeup influences medication absorption and metabolism, we are better equipped to choose treatments that are most likely to work well for you. This personalized information allows us to move beyond the traditional trial-and-error method, potentially leading to faster, more effective outcomes.
For clients seeking a clearer and more tailored approach to their mental health treatment, this testing offers a potentially more refined path to well-being.
