Mental Health Medication + Genetics Report
Sample pharmacogenomic analysis for 49+ psychiatric medications
Research & Education Notice
This is a literature-based report summarizing available pharmacogenomic research. Always consult with your healthcare provider before making any medication decisions. Your unique medical history, current health status, and treatment decisions should be made in partnership with your qualified healthcare provider. This report is only as accurate as the genetic data provided—results depend on the quality and completeness of your uploaded DNA file.
Understanding Your Medication Report
This report analyzes genetic variants in relation to 49+ psychiatric medications including antidepressants, antipsychotics, ADHD medications, mood stabilizers, and anti-anxiety medications.
Each medication page shows which genes process that medication, how specific variants may influence response, and what research suggests about food, supplement, and drug interactions relevant to the genetic profile.
How Your Body Processes Medications
Pharmacokinetics is the study of how your body handles medications—how they are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated. The genes in this report primarily affect liver enzymes (the cytochrome P450 system) that break down medications.
Pharmacodynamics is the study of how medications affect your body—which receptors and targets they act on. Some genetic variants influence how strongly you respond to a medication's effects, independent of how quickly you process it.
Understanding Metabolizer Status
Genetic variants determine how active drug-metabolizing enzymes are. Throughout this report, you will see these categories:
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Ultrarapid Metabolizer | Enzyme is highly active. Medications may be cleared faster than typical, potentially reducing effectiveness at standard doses. |
| Normal Metabolizer | Enzyme functions as expected. Standard dosing approaches generally apply. |
| Intermediate Metabolizer | Enzyme has reduced activity. Medications may be cleared more slowly, potentially increasing drug levels. |
| Poor Metabolizer | Enzyme has significantly reduced or absent activity. Medications may accumulate, potentially increasing effects and side effects. |
The impact of metabolizer status depends on how important that enzyme is for each specific medication—a poor metabolizer status matters more for drugs that rely heavily on that pathway.
How to Use This Report
Each medication page includes:
- The genetic profile for that medication's metabolic pathways
- What research suggests about how variants may affect response
- Food & supplement interactions relevant to the genetics
- Drug interactions that may be affected by genetic pathways
- Questions for your healthcare provider to support informed discussions
About Our Research
This report synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed research, FDA drug labels, and clinical guidelines including CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium). Citations are numbered throughout each medication page, with full references provided at the end of the report.
This report is educational, not clinical advice. Medication decisions should always be made with a healthcare provider, who can consider complete medical history, current medications, and individual circumstances alongside this genetic information.
Evidence Levels
How we classify the strength of pharmacogenomic evidence
Strong Evidence – Clinical Practice Guidelines
CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium) or PharmGKB Level 1A has published clinical practice guidelines for this gene-drug relationship. These guidelines are used by healthcare providers to inform prescribing decisions.
Good Evidence – Peer-Reviewed Studies & FDA Labeling
Supported by CPIC moderate-level guidelines, PharmGKB clinical annotations, FDA pharmacogenomic labeling, or multiple peer-reviewed pharmacokinetic studies.
Early Research – Emerging Findings
Gene-drug associations identified in peer-reviewed literature. Findings are promising but additional studies are needed before clinical practice guidelines can be established.
Note: When a medication has evidence from multiple genes, the highest tier is displayed. Detailed evidence sources are shown within each medication's expanded view.
Limited Research: For medications without established pharmacogenomic data for your specific genetic profile, standard prescribing guidance applies. This does not indicate the medication is unsafe—only that genetic research is not yet available.
Research Finding Levels
How we summarize what research has identified for your genetics and each medication
Minimal Findings
Research has identified limited genetic factors relevant to this medication for your profile.
Moderate Findings
Research has identified some genetic factors that may be relevant to this medication for your profile.
Significant Findings
Research has identified important genetic factors relevant to this medication for your profile.
Note: This indicates the amount of research findings, not whether a medication is "good" or "bad" for you. Discuss all findings with your healthcare provider.

Data Quality & Methodology
This report integrates pharmacogenetic data from 8 primary sources: CPIC guidelines, DPWG guidelines, PharmGKB annotations, FDA pharmacogenomic biomarkers, OnSIDES label-extracted adverse effects, DGIdb gene-drug interactions, PharmVar allele definitions, and peer-reviewed PubMed literature. All genetic variants have been validated against PharmVar reference sequences, and diplotype assignments follow CPIC nomenclature standards. Research citations are automatically verified against PubMed and tiered by evidence strength (Tier 1: CPIC/DPWG guidelines, Tier 2: FDA/PharmGKB, Tier 3: Emerging research).
Last Updated: April 10, 2026. We update our research database quarterly with new CPIC guidelines, FDA label changes, and published studies. For the most current recommendations, please refer to the resources above and consult with your healthcare provider.
