Welcome to GeneSight® Cares
The mission of GeneSight Cares is to identify barriers related to mental health treatment and use the voice of experts to generate actionable solutions. As one of the leaders in psychiatric pharmacogenomics, we recognize that the complexity of mental health treatment can be tackled by starting, joining, and listening to discussions that create a spark to make meaningful changes in the way we see patients and ourselves.

“We, as a company, are committed to addressing the issues of mental health and the stigma associated with it because we care.”
We work every day to help healthcare providers access genetic insights that can help them help their patients.

During this unprecedented time, mental health is more important than ever. That’s why we are creating forums to tackle the most pressing, controversial topics in mental health. Talking about mental health issues is the first step towards erasing the stigma associated with it.

Through our webinars, our blog posts and other resources, we are working to raise awareness about the challenges in the mental health world.

Please check back often for new GeneSight Cares information.

What many presume to be typical “senior moments,” may actually be symptoms of more serious mental health issues, including depression.

Does Unconscious Bias Affect Your Treatment of Black Patients?

Whether it’s in medical settings, on the street or in the classroom, unconscious bias exists all around us. And it is largely racial bias.

Our panel of board-certified psychiatrists shared stories of experiencing implicit and explicit bias; and offered participants the chance to learn strategies to address unconscious bias and stereotypes in healthcare settings.

LGBTQ+ and Depression: Addressing Double Stigma in Mental Healthcare

Patients who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and other gender and sexual orientations (LGBTQ+) can often experience a double stigma in which they feel they are not accepted by either the mental health community due to their LGBTQ+ identities or the LGBTQ+ community due to mental health issues including depression.

The mental health practitioners on our panel shared how simple actions and meaningful inclusion practices can help LGBTQ+ patients with depression feel more supported in clinical environments.
