Amanda Lange swabs her cheek to complete the GeneSight Psychotropic test. The test was ordered by her doctor to get information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work, or may have an increased risk of side effects based on her genetic makeup. In a new nationwide poll, the GeneSight Mental Health Monitor found 7 in 10 adults with depression would feel "hopeful" if their doctor recommended genetic testing as part of their treatment plan.
