The GeneSight Psychotropic Test

The GeneSight Psychotropic test analyzes how your genes may affect your outcomes with medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. The GeneSight Psychotropic test provides your clinician with information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work for you or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup.

The GeneSight MTHFR Test

The GeneSight MTHFR test shows whether a person has variation in MTHFR, an enzyme required to convert folic acid and dietary folate into its active form, methylfolate.

A comprehensive report, personalized for you

The GeneSight Psychotropic report may help you avoid multiple medication trials by providing information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic information.

The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications.

The report classifies over 60 mental health medications into four categories:

Use as Directed
Moderate Gene-Drug Interaction
Significant Gene-Drug Interaction
No Proven Genetic Markers

Medications on the GeneSight Psychotropic Report

There are over 60 mental health medications included on the GeneSight Psychotropic test. We continuously evaluate the scientific literature and are committed to providing clinicians with genetic insights to help inform treatment decisions.
