Genetic Testing for Medication Metabolism

Victory Clinic provides a specialized genetic testing service through GeneSight® to enhance medication management for mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD. By analyzing a patient's genetic makeup from a simple cheek swab, our physicians can determine how different medications might metabolize, thus tailoring treatment plans to maximize efficacy and minimize side effects. This personalized approach helps address the variability in medication response, evidenced by studies like STAR*D, which noted less than 40% of depression patients respond to their first prescribed medication.
