UNDERSTANDING TREATMENT

What Is Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing for psychiatry, often called pharmacogenomic testing, looks at how your genes may affect the way your body processes certain psychiatric medications. At Meah Modern Psychiatry, genetic testing can be used as one part of a personalized treatment plan to help guide medication decisions with more clarity and confidence. As trusted psychiatrists in Colorado Springs, we use this approach to better understand how your body may respond to certain medications as we build care around your individual needs.

“Started coming to Meah about a year ago for general anxiety and they've been extremely helpful. They looked into some supplements that would compliment other medical issues to address some nutritional imbalances that could contribute to anxiety to start. From there they have been helping me through talk therapy and I have experienced a lot of growth in my ability to regulate my anxiety since.”
