Genetic Test

Psychotropic genetic testing is a significant step in psychiatric care, offering precision medicine for individual needs. Analyzing an individual's genetic profile, from a cheek swab or blood sample, helps predict drug metabolism of psychotropic medications. Personalized approach reduces trial-and-error, enhancing treatment and patient well-being. This information guides treatment decisions, minimizes side effects, and improves therapeutic outcomes.
