The GeneSight Psychotropic Test
​
The GeneSight Psychotropic test analyzes how your genes may affect your outcomes with medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. The GeneSight Psychotropic test provides Ahwatukee Health Care with information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work for you or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup.
​
GeneSight Psychotropic Clinical Studies
There are seven published peer-reviewed studies showing the clinical validity, clinical utility, and economic utility of the GeneSight Psychotropic test. In the GUIDED study, when clinicians used the GeneSight Psychotropic test to guide treatment decisions, patients saw a 50% improvement in remission rates versus treatment as usual. You can
