Personalizing Mental Health Treatment with Genetic Testing
Finding the right psychiatric medication can sometimes involve trial and error. GeneSight® Testing is an advanced pharmacogenomic test that analyzes specific genes to provide information about how your body may process certain psychiatric medications.
At Integris Psychiatry LLC, we use GeneSight® Testing as one tool—along with your symptoms, medical history, and clinical evaluation—to help guide medication selection and develop a personalized treatment plan. While genetic testing does not predict which medication will work best for everyone, it can provide helpful information to support informed treatment decisions.

- Personalized genetic insights to support medication decisions.
- Results reviewed by your psychiatric provider as part of your overall treatment plan.
- Evidence-based approach combined with comprehensive psychiatric care.
