I’m 60, have tried a dozen antidepressants over 30 years with bad to mediocre effect.

Welcome @rob33,
@wsh66 has written a fair amount about (Genesight) genetic testing and can answer any questions you might have. I think you'll find this related discussion helpful:

Are you currently on medication that is working for you?
