Pharmacogenetics (pharmacogenomics) is learning the method by which genes affect the body’s response to certain medications. Psychotropic medications especially are affected by genes. Thus a particular psychotropic medication and same dose may affect people in very different ways, in side effects or effectiveness due to different types of genes. We at Healer Health, using GeneSight Psychotropic test will evaluate clinically the important genetic variations in a person’s DNA. The results of the GeneSight test would enlighten about the genes that may influence how a patient metabolizes or responds to medicines frequently prescribed to treat for example depression, anxiety, ADHD and other psychiatric conditions.
