How does mental health genetic testing work?
Genetic testing is done through a saliva test. The sample can be collected in two ways: in-person at a Neuro Wellness Spa clinic with your provider, or at home if ordered by your Neuro Wellness Spa provider. Before taking the test, you must be NPO “nothing by mouth” for 45mins (this includes no smoking, no water, no chewing gum, no food etc). The test will take about 5-10 minutes to complete, from start to finish.
-
What conditions do mental health genetic testing work for?
Genetic tests for mental health work for a variety of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions that:
- Require dose adjustments
- Be less likely to work
- Have an increased risk of side effects based on your DNA
-
How long does it take to get my results?
Once the genetic testing center (Tempus or Genomind) receives your saliva sample, it takes approximately 8-14 days to sequence and generate your report. The report is delivered to your Neuro Wellness Spa provider.

My Life Started To Turn Around
I had a very positive experience with Neuro Wellness Spa and would recommend them for TMS treatment. The psychiatrists and especially the technicians explained things to me clearly and had great bedside manner throughout my multi-week treatment. I had great results and am forever grateful!

TMS therapy had a profound impact in a short period of time
I had an incredible experience with my TMS treatment. I felt appreciated and welcomed by the staff and my needs were met throughout the whole process. I was consistently checked on by the psychiatrist to assess progress. The technicians made me feel as comfortable as possible and I began to notice cognitive and behavioral differences after a short period of time.

The Psychiatrists there are grounded in science and don’t just prescribe medications to help with mental health issues. They take the time to listen and tune into individual patient needs and prescribe a plan to fit those needs. I Highly recommend for anyone searching more holistic therapies.

TMS helped with my sleep
I underwent TMS maybe a year ago, and albeit I had only undergone it once, I had felt better about my day and definitely my nights, for it had benefited my sleep a lot. I found myself to be less anxious and less depressed as the process had carried on and found it to be an enjoyable experience overall.
