Just took a genetype test?

2 Replies

My psychiatrist is going to test my genes to figure out which medications might work for me because none have worked so far. He's a really good psychiatrist and says I'm the only anxiety patient he hasn't been able to improve and that scared me a lot and made me think it was more than anxiety. I'm really nervous about it.
