As we observe Pride Month, we are mindful of the disproportionate number of members of the LGBTQ+ community who are struggling with depression, and the stigma associated with LGBTQ+ mental health. Our GeneSight team member, John-Michael Criswell, explains why it is critical that we talk about mental health, and how the GeneSight team is committed to working towards solutions, greater understanding and respect.

The GeneSight test must be ordered by and used only in consultation with a healthcare provider who can prescribe medications. As with all genetic tests, the GeneSight test results have limitations and do not constitute medical advice. The test results are designed to be just one part of a larger, complete patient assessment, which would include proper diagnosis and consideration of your medical history, other medications you may be taking, your family history, and other factors.
