Psychology Today verification and GeneSight partnership are listed as practice credentials. They support Telehealth Psychiatry; they are not a diagnosis and they are not a guarantee of outcome.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
