It takes about 5 days to receive pharmacogenetic test results after your sample arrives at the lab. Once we get your results back, we can contact you and schedule an appointment to go over your results. From there, we can formulate a plan and get started on your treatment.

Intake
If you want to try medication as part of your bipolar disorder treatment in Dallas, the first step is the intake. Here, our team members will ask you questions about your background, current symptoms, and expected outcome so we can determine next steps. If we think you could benefit from medication, we may decide to perform pharmacogenetic testing.

Testing
Before prescribing any medication, we need a DNA sample, which our experts can perform in the office. For our telehealth patients, we can send the swab test to them. All we need is a mouth swab, then you can send your sample directly to Genesight or Genomind for analysis.

Prescribing
After Genesight or Genomind completes your test, they’ll send us the results, and we’ll go over them with you. The report tells us which medications to avoid when prescribing treatment. Once we finish going over your test results, we can select a medication that best suits your needs.
