Genetic testing in psychiatric care analyzes your DNA to predict medication responses for conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It provides insights into drug effectiveness, dosage needs, and potential risks based on your genetic makeup. This personalized approach can streamline treatment selection, potentially reducing trial-and-error in finding the right medication and dosage. The goal is to improve outcomes and minimize side effects by tailoring treatment to your genetic profile. Some insurance plans may cover this testing; check with your provider for coverage details.
