Would you like to be part of something special?

So, you're depressed or anxious or both. Seeking pharmaceutical treatment may be a good option. These treatments often lead to excellent outcomes (reduction of symptoms) and can open your view to a better time.

However, it would be best if you were made aware of the following. Sometimes, it takes time to find the proper treatment. For depression and anxiety, there is a suite of available medications and treatments. Each will affect different people differently, depending on your genes. This research seeks to find a solution. The step is to understand the spelling of your genes. This spelling or your "variant" suggests which amount of which treatment for depression/anxiety is suitable for you. This information is valuable to the doctor advising you about the treatment plan. This genetic testing could increase the possibility that you will avoid the experience of being prescribed a medication that may not be the most suitable for your specific genes.

It has been estimated that if everyone did this genetic testing, the treatment could be potentially much quicker and more effective than a standard approach based on your doctor's best clinical judgement. We would love to see you not waste your time, grow into yourself, and feel better quicker. Everyone around would love it too. We may try to make it happen.

The simple part is doing. At this stage, it will still be a blood test at PathWest, but in the future, a saliva sample will give all the genetic information necessary. It is, of course, up to your comfort. Take the time you need to think it over.

We warmly invite you to this new road of "personalised medicine" (specified to your needs), which we practice, preach and educate about at Voix.
