Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses. It is estimated that about seven percent of all adults suffer from depression and its associated symptoms
Among other things, those affected have problems with eating, sleeping, and maintaining social contacts. Depression can last for years and lead to a massive reduction in quality of life.
A combination of different factors facilitates the development of depression. For example, severe strokes of fate or pregnancy can play a role in the development of psychological problems.
Apart from that, however, specific genes also have a considerable influence on how high the individual’s risk of developing depression is. Therefore, a genetic test that examines the gene variations that are relevant in this context can be useful and help to counteract this risk at an early stage.
For our Depression Sensor, our laboratory performs a comprehensive analysis of the sample sent to us. Eight genetic variations that play a role in depression are investigated.
We use the results to determine how likely a patient is to develop depression and whether antidepressant treatment is promising.
After a successful analysis, we prepare a detailed written report. In this report, we clearly explain how the individual risks are assessed and which preventive measures make sense.
In this way, our Depression Sensor can help to recognize the danger of depression early on and to counter the psychological problems with the right measures effectively.
The DNAhealth Control analyzes are not offered by Novogenia.
After a successful analysis, we summarize the individual results in a detailed result report. You will also find information on the analyzed genes and the underlying science in this demo.
We would be happy to send you the demo report. Just send us an email with the name of the analysis.
