Pharmacogenetic Testing

At Sewell Psychiatry, I incorporate pharmacogenetic testing as a vital tool in your mental health treatment plan. This innovative approach examines how your unique genetic makeup affects your response to various medications. By analyzing specific genes, we can identify which medications are most likely to be effective for you and which may cause unwanted side effects. This personalized insight allows us to tailor your treatment, increasing the chances of a successful outcome while minimizing trial and error. With pharmacogenetics, we aim to enhance your mental health journey by ensuring you receive the most effective and safest medications for your individual needs.
