What is the GeneSight Test?

We know the process of finding medications that work can be frustrating, time-consuming and debilitating.

That’s why we created the GeneSight test.

The results of the test can inform your healthcare provider about how you may break down or respond to certain mental health medications. Finding the medication that works for you can help you finally start feeling like yourself again.

Reasons to consider the GeneSight test for you or your patients

Had a medication failure in the past
Current medication experiencing lower-than-desired medication response
Experiencing unwanted side effects
Wanting a mental health medication to help manage mental health diagnosis

What is the the GeneSight at Home Kit?

For some, suffering from depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions, it can be a struggle just to leave the house. For some providers, the percentage of patients they see in-office is dropping in favor of virtual visits. We’re removing barriers like these with GeneSight at Home.

With the same technology used for the in-office GeneSight test, we’ve created an easy-to-follow Patient Collection Kit that’s sent directly to you or your patient’s home office once a registered healthcare provider orders the test in our portal. Once completed at home, the kit is sent to our lab, and results are processed in a few days. It’s that simple.

This story is one clinician’s personal experience. Other experiences may vary. 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 medical history, other medications being taken, family history, and other factors.

If you are a healthcare provider and interested in learning more about the GeneSight test, please contact us at 855.891.9415. If you are a patient, please talk with your doctor to see if the GeneSight test may be helpful.
