Genesight Testing

Personalized Insights to Support Psychiatric Treatment

Finding the right psychiatric medication can sometimes take time. GeneSight® is a pharmacogenomic test that helps provide additional information about how your genetic makeup may influence your response to certain psychiatric medications.

At Sova Health Group, GeneSight testing is used as a tool to support treatment planning by providing valuable information that may help guide medication selection and improve treatment outcomes.

How GeneSight Testing Works

GeneSight testing is completed using a simple, non-invasive cheek swab. The sample is analyzed to identify specific genetic variations that may affect how your body processes and responds to certain psychiatric medications.

Once the results are available, your provider will review them alongside your symptoms, medical history, previous medication experiences, and treatment goals to develop a personalized care plan.

Who May Benefit from GeneSight?

GeneSight testing may be beneficial for individuals who:

• Have tried multiple medications with limited success
• Experience unwanted medication side effects
• Have treatment-resistant depression
• Are seeking additional information to support treatment decisions
• Want a more personalized approach to psychiatric care

Personalized Mental Health Care

While genetic testing is not a substitute for a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, it can provide valuable insights that help support informed treatment decisions. At Sova Health Group, GeneSight testing is incorporated into a broader, patient-centered approach to mental health care.
