Understanding Your Unique Mental Health Needs
Mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all. If you’ve struggled to find the right medication or experienced side effects, genetic testing could provide the answers you need.
At Stillpoint Integrative Psychiatry & Wellness in Harrisonburg, we offer Genomind Genetic Testing to further personalize your mental health care. This innovative approach helps us personalize treatment based on your unique genetic makeup, leading to better outcomes with fewer side effects.
What Is Genetic Testing for Mental Health?
Genetic testing analyzes variations in your DNA that impact:
✅ Medication Metabolism – How your body processes antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and ADHD medications.
✅ Stress & Inflammation Response – Genetic factors affecting anxiety, resilience, and inflammation levels.
✅ Nutritional Needs – How your body absorbs and utilizes key nutrients (e.g., folate, omega-3s, B vitamins).
✅ Detoxification & Metabolism – Your ability to process toxins, caffeine, and alcohol efficiently.
Who Should Consider Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing is especially helpful for individuals who:
🔹 Have tried multiple medications with little success.
🔹 Experience severe side effects from psychiatric drugs.
🔹 Want a more natural, personalized approach to mental health care.
🔹 Have family members with mental health conditions and want proactive care.
