Understand your genetic risk factors for anxiety and depression to proactively support your mental well-being.
Test Description
Family history of anxiety or depression? Are you prone to low moods and a pervasive sense of worry? Our DNA Anxiety & Depression Test could shed light on potential genetic vulnerabilities.
This test examines the 5-HTTLPR gene, involved in regulating serotonin – a neurotransmitter vital for mood balance. Individuals with the ‘short’ variation of this gene, sometimes nicknamed the “grouchy gene,” might have an increased sensitivity to stress and a higher risk of mood-related conditions.
