Tempus Genetic Testing

Every individual responds to medications differently. A treatment that works well for one person may not be effective for another. Tempus Genetic Testing helps support more personalized care by analyzing specific genes that influence how the body processes and responds to certain psychiatric medications.

This genetic insight can assist healthcare providers in making more informed medication decisions, potentially improving treatment response while minimizing unwanted side effects—especially for individuals who have tried multiple medications without success.

What Is Tempus Genetic Testing?

Tempus Genetic Testing is a clinically guided pharmacogenomic test designed to support medication management for mental health conditions. It evaluates genetic variations that may affect how an individual metabolizes and responds to certain psychiatric medications.

The goal of Tempus testing is to provide healthcare providers with actionable genetic insights that can be used alongside clinical judgment, patient history, and symptoms to inform treatment decisions.

Tempus Genetic Testing typically involves:

  • Sample collection (non-invasive)
  • Laboratory-based genetic analysis
  • A clinical report reviewed by your healthcare provider

The results are used as decision-support information, helping guide medication selection and dosing considerations.

How Tempus Genetic Testing Supports Mental Health Care

Tempus Genetic Testing helps clinicians better understand potential gene-medication interactions that may influence medication effectiveness or tolerability. By identifying how certain genes may affect medication metabolism or response, providers can:

  • Consider medications that may be better suited for the individual
  • Reduce trial-and-error prescribing
  • Potentially minimize adverse effects
  • Optimize treatment planning

This personalized approach can be especially helpful for patients who have experienced limited success or unwanted side effects with previous medications.

Conditions That May Benefit from Genetic Testing

Tempus Genetic Testing may be used as part of treatment planning for a range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Major Depressive Disorder
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • PTSD
  • OCD
  • ADHD
  • Bipolar Disorder

Your provider will determine whether genetic testing is appropriate based on your individual clinical needs.
