The Benefits
If you’re living with mental illness, you’ll know that the correct treatment and medication makes all the difference. Getting the most effective treatment and medication has never been more important.
That’s why this genetic test has been designed to help your doctor quickly make the right treatment decisions for you. In fact, by identifying your specific genetic markers, it can both indicate which treatments are likely to be the most effective for you and what dosage should be prescribed as well as helping you avoid any treatments that are likely to result in adverse effects.

What is the Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test?
The Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test comprehensively assesses your genetic profile to understand how you uniquely metabolise, respond to, and tolerate different psychiatric medications. This can help your doctor to personalise what medications they prescribe you, and at what dosages.

What does the testing process look like?
For ship-to-patient testing, upon receiving your order (before 4 pm), we’ll mail the sample kit the same day, including a simple cheek swab, consent form (requiring both your and your doctor’s signatures), and a return Royal Mail pre-paid envelope. After receiving your paid kit, we coordinate with your doctor for their signature, send the sample to the lab for analysis, and the results provided to your doctor within 7 to 10 business days. Your doctor is then contacted to schedule a clinical consultation with the lab, followed by a discussion with you to tailor your medication based on your genetic profile and treatment plan.
For in-office testing, your doctor will use a test kit from their office. They will collect the sample with a cheek swab and review the consent form during your visit. Your doctor’s office will return your sample to Myogenes via a priority Royal Mail pre-paid envelopment that is included inside the test kit. You will receive the invoice via email once your sample is received. After payment is completed, results are sent to your doctor within 7 to 10 business days.
How long will it take until I get my results?
Will I get the results myself?
Your doctor will share your results with you, as they go directly from the laboratory to your doctor.
