Personalized Genetic Testing to Guide Medication Choices
What is GeneSight Testing?
GeneSight is a test that analyzes multiple genes to help determine how your body may metabolize or respond to medications like antidepressants, ADHD meds, or anxiety treatments. It provides a personalized report with recommendations categorized by gene-drug interaction levels (green, yellow, or red), which can guide safer and more effective medication choices.
Backed by peer-reviewed studies, GeneSight helps reduce the trial-and-error process, potentially speeding relief and minimizing side effects. It’s a valuable tool for patients starting new psychiatric medications or those encountering limited effectiveness or adverse reactions. Align Medical Center is a GeneSight test clinic in Wellington with providers who can help find the best solution to your medication needs.

How GeneSight Testing Works
GeneSight testing is a powerful tool that helps us understand how your body may respond to certain medications.

It's important to note that GeneSight is a specialized pharmacogenomic tool — not a diagnostic test — and is specifically designed to help guide decisions around psychiatric medications.
