6B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 Business & Service Directory Pandemic Depression: Genetic Insight May Help Treatment (NAPSI)—Social isolation during the pandemic may pose a mental health threat for those already at risk for COVID-19— people over age 65. As doctors treat more senior patients for depression, an in- creasingly popular genetic test may inform their treatment decisions. Th e GeneSight test (www.genesight.com) provides information about how your genes may impact how you me- tabolize and respond to certain depression medications. Innovative solutions for mental health conditions are im- portant. As the pandemic and its resulting isolation wears on, many are struggling with their mental health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, loneliness can be associated with higher rates of depression. “When I fi rst experienced depression, it happened all of a sudden,” shared Doreen, a wife, mother of three grown chil- dren, and retiree. “It was like a cloud happened in my head.” Symptoms of depression can include changes in sleep or eating patterns, decreased energy, diffi culty concentrating or a lack of motivation. Doreen saw her doctor, who prescribed a depression medi- cation but it didn’t alleviate her symptoms. “I began to see one doctor, then another, to help deal with my depression,” said Doreen. Her doctors “tried many, many diff erent medications and none seemed to work. Finally, my heart doctor said, ‘Doreen, I’ve heard about this gene test, I think it might help you.’” Her doctor was referring to the GeneSight test. Th e test is a simple cheek swab, ordered by a healthcare provider who can prescribe medications. A patient can take the test at home or in the doctor’s offi ce. Using a patient’s unique DNA, the GeneSight test informs doctors about potential gene-drug interactions. Th e report Moving? Art Project?

Th e GeneSight test helped Doreen’s doctor to make an in- formed treatment decision; she was prescribed a new medi- cation. “Th at’s when my life started to change. I got back to smil- ing, being happy and laughing again. I got back to being me,” Doreen said. Post-pandemic life will likely never be the same. If depres- sion is one of the unanticipated consequences, treatment is important. People struggling with depression can ask their doctor about the GeneSight test.
