Genetic Counselling

This session is conducted by a Qualified Genetic Counsellor who will help you understand how your genes and environment interact to influence mental health and neurological conditions.

Core Objectives
1. Risk Assessment: Evaluates family medical history to clarify genetic susceptibility for complex, polygenic conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and early-onset dementia.
 2. Test Interpretation: Guides patients through diagnostic tests and pharmacogenomic panels to optimize psychiatric medication selection and dosing based on individual metabolism.
 3. Stigma Reduction: Frame psychiatric and neurological conditions as biological medical health issues, reducing self-blame and familial guilt.
 4. Actionable Care: Recommends early intervention strategies, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted therapies to protect long-term brain health.

How this card works: after you buy it, we match you with a practitioner for this service and you book a time with them. Until you are matched, practitioners see only your age, area, sex and ethnicity (if you have added them in Arcadia), never your name or contact details.
