Our team of genetic specialists and healthcare professionals conducts specialized genetic testing to analyze specific genetic markers associated with mental health conditions. By identifying genetic variations, we can better understand how certain genes may influence the risk of developing mental health disorders and tailor treatment plans accordingly.
MindRx uses pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing along with input you provide through an easy-to-use app to create a personalized mental health treatment plan for you. The combination of PGx testing and these standard patient questionnaires can help assess the effectiveness of your mental health treatment plan so that adjustments can be made.
Our genetic testing process involves:
We collect a sample, usually through a simple cheek swab or a blood draw, to obtain your DNA for genetic analysis.
Advanced genetic testing techniques analyze specific genetic markers related to mental health conditions.
Our specialists interpret the genetic data to identify potential genetic variations that may impact mental health.
Based on the analysis, we create personalized treatment strategies that take into account your genetic makeup, lifestyle, and mental health concerns.

Genetic testing involves analyzing an individual’s DNA to identify genetic variations associated with specific conditions, including mental health disorders.
Genetic testing offers numerous benefits for mental health care:
MindRx uses the Tempus genetic test. Tempus is an advanced genetic testing tool that is used to personalize mental health treatment plans. The Tempus genetic test gives your doctor evidence based gene-drug interactions based on guidelines from the FDA, Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium, PharmGKB, and Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group. With this test, MindRx can understand how your body may respond to certain medications in order to create a personalized treatment plan that is specific to your DNA makeup. Tempus genetic testing can save you trial and error when it comes to getting the relief you need.
The Tempus genetic test sample can be provided in one of two ways:
1. A sample for the genetic test is collected in your care provider’s office.
2. A saliva collection kit for the genetic test is sent to your home. If a saliva collection kit is sent to your home, you will receive detailed instructions within the kit on how to correctly provide your saliva sample.
Genetic testing can detect specific genetic markers that may be associated with an increased risk of developing certain mental health conditions.
The coverage of genetic testing by insurance varies. Our team can help you navigate the insurance process and determine your coverage.
