Pharmacogenomic Testing
At Aria Psychiatry we are proud to offer GeneSight® pharmacogenomic testing—a personalized, genetic-based tool that helps take the guesswork out of psychiatric medication management.
This test is designed to guide your provider in choosing the right medications based on your unique genetic makeup, helping to improve treatment outcomes and reduce the frustration of trial-and-error prescribing.
GeneSight® is a non-invasive genetic test that analyzes how your genes may affect your response to over 60 FDA-approved psychiatric medications, including:
Antidepressants
Antipsychotics
Mood stabilizers
ADHD medications
Anti-anxiety medications
This test can reveal how your body metabolizes specific medications, helping us understand which treatments may be more effective or more likely to cause side effects.
