The document discusses a new genetic test called GeneSightRx that identifies variants in genes related to how patients metabolize antidepressants. The test helps doctors determine which medication and dose is best for individual patients based on their genetic profile. Over 12,000 patients have undergone testing which guides doctors in tailoring medication regimens. The test helps improve patient outcomes by avoiding adverse reactions that can occur when the wrong antidepressant or dose is prescribed.

3. GeneSightRx helps patients to look for a new prescription and a right
dose that they may need in the future.
4. “GeneSightRx, a new test that identifies variants in five genes and
tells doctors which antidepressant to pick based on its results”
“The value of GeneSightRx, however, isn’t really in the fact that it
identifies CYP450 variants”
5. “So far, 12,000 patients at Mayo and Cincinnati Children’s have been assessed with GeneSightRx and had their meds tailored to their metabolic tendencies”

7. So far, in the past three decades Psychiatrists have done so many
research based on the results of prescribing to their patients included children and adults. Since today, GeneSightRx is the first method to identify how much antidepressant that patients need to take. However this is the best way to avoid causing of taking an overdose medication.

make a prescription looks beautiful in order for the patients to receive a good mental health care.
