The sections below offer more detail. For personalized guidance, request a consultation with the
practice.
01
What is genetic testing used for?
Genetic testing may be used as one tool to inform medication selection. It can add information that helps guide choices about which medication or dose might be worth considering, alongside clinical judgment and your personal history.
02
When is it offered?
Genetic testing is offered where clinically appropriate and is discussed with you in advance. It is not a routine step for everyone, and it is never used as a guarantee of how a medication will work for you.
03
Does it guarantee results?
No. Genetic testing provides information, not certainty. Medication decisions at Mynd Works are made collaboratively and reviewed with measurement-based tools, so the plan is adjusted based on how you are actually responding.
04
How do I ask about it?
You can raise genetic testing during your evaluation or in a routine appointment. If it is clinically appropriate for your situation, the clinician will explain what it involves before any decision is made.
