@wynnaa One of the mental health professionals I talk with mentioned that the conference they went to had the psychiatrists pretty much split 50-50 on whether Genesight was a good thing or not. This was the split a few years ago on IV ketamine too so I feel there are always going to be doctors that don't want to recommend something new until it is proven to work. In this case, it's a swab and $300 so definitely worth a shot in my mind considering we seem to just be rolling the dice with what meds will work. I hope you get some good results from the recommendations from Genesight and your new doctor!

@mandrake70 I agree with you on that! I gave blood for the Genesight test done for me. I was expecting something different 🥴
