Professional and Caring Support

Thoughtful, Personalized Care You Deserve

At Midwest Mental Health of South Dakota, we believe in an integrated approach to care, combining both medication and therapy to support your mental health journey.

Our team works closely with you and your healthcare provider to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We utilize tools like GeneSight Testing to better understand how your body may respond to medications, guiding our medication management process.

Additionally, we incorporate specialized tools like workbooks into our therapy sessions to promote ongoing progress and reflection during clinic visits. Whether you're age seven or seventy, we’re here to provide the thoughtful, personalized care you deserve, ensuring that every aspect of your mental health is addressed.

What is GeneSight Testing?

GeneSight testing is a tool that helps us understand how your unique genetic makeup might influence your response to certain medications. It’s a simple test that analyzes specific genes related to how your body processes medications commonly used in mental health care, like antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics.

By using a small sample, typically a cheek swab, GeneSight provides insights into which medications might work best for you, and which ones could cause more side effects or be less effective based on your genetics. This doesn’t mean the test tells your provider exactly what to prescribe, but it gives them helpful information to guide their decisions, especially if you've had trouble finding the right medication in the past.

GeneSight testing is used to personalize your treatment plan, making the process of finding the right medication feel less like trial and error, and more like a path that’s tailored to your body’s needs. It’s just one more way your provider can work with you to find the right balance for your mental health.
