Our care approach

Understanding Your Medication Needs and Treatment Goals

The process begins with understanding your mental health concerns, previous medication experiences, current treatment goals, and individual needs. This information helps your psychiatric provider determine how pharmacogenomic testing may support your medication management plan.

1. Reviewing Pharmacogenomic Test Results

Your psychiatric provider reviews your pharmacogenomic results to understand how your genetic profile may influence your response to certain medications. The results may provide additional information related to medication effectiveness, metabolism, and the possibility of experiencing certain medication-related side effects.

2. Supporting Individualized Medication Selection

Pharmacogenomic testing may help your provider identify medications that may be more appropriate for you based on your genetic information and clinical needs. The results are considered alongside your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals when developing your personalized medication plan.

3. Ongoing Medication Management and Support

Medication treatment requires ongoing evaluation and adjustment. Your provider will continue to monitor your response, discuss progress, and make treatment decisions based on your individual needs and mental health goals.

How Pharmacogenomic Testing Supports Treatment

Everyone responds differently to medications due to variations in their genetic makeup. Pharmacogenomic testing provides additional information that may help psychiatric providers better understand how an individual may respond to certain medications.
This information may support medication decisions by helping providers consider options that may be more appropriate based on genetic factors, understand how the body may process certain medications, and reduce the likelihood of medication-related challenges such as side effects or reduced effectiveness.
Pharmacogenomic testing does not replace professional clinical evaluation and does not guarantee a specific medication outcome. Instead, it serves as an additional resource to support informed medication decisions and personalized treatment planning.
