GeneSight testing in New Hampshire at A1 Behavioral Health Services helps patients and providers better understand how genetics may affect response to psychiatric medications. This simple pharmacogenomic test may provide helpful information about how your body processes certain medications used for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health concerns.
Finding the right medication can sometimes take time. GeneSight testing can support more personalized medication decisions by helping your provider review potential gene-drug interactions, side effect risks, and medication options as part of your overall treatment plan.
GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your genes impact your body’s ability to process and respond to medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions.
With just a quick cheek swab, GeneSight provides detailed insights that help your provider tailor treatment to your unique genetic profile—so you can find the medication that works best, faster, and with fewer complications.
GeneSight testing helps eliminate guesswork from medication management. Recognizing how your genetics influence your treatment allows for a more targeted and effective recovery plan.
Simple Sample Collection:
A painless cheek swab is collected during your appointment or mailed to you for at-home completion.

These results empower your provider to make the most informed prescribing decisions for your mental health treatment.
During GeneSight testing in New Hampshire, your provider will explain how the test works, collect or arrange a cheek swab sample, and review whether pharmacogenomic testing is appropriate for your care. Once the results are available, your provider will discuss what the report means and how it may help guide medication planning.
The results do not replace a psychiatric evaluation or clinical judgment. Instead, they provide additional information that may help your provider make more informed medication decisions, especially when previous medications have caused side effects or have not worked as expected.
Your GeneSight test doesn’t just end with a report, it’s a long-term tool for your provider to manage ongoing care.
By understanding how your body responds to medications, your provider can make more confident decisions for future adjustments, ensuring consistent, effective treatment over time.
GeneSight testing in New Hampshire may be especially helpful for patients who have tried multiple medications or experienced side effects that made treatment difficult to continue.
