Do your genes play a role in how medications work for you? GeneSight Psychotropic is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your genetic makeup may influence medication outcomes. By examining key variations in your DNA, this test provides valuable insights to help your prescriber understand how you may metabolize or respond to medications commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
