3. Adult Genetic Counselling

Adult genetic counseling, particularly in the context of psychiatric conditions, involves working with individuals to understand the genetic factors that may contribute to mental health disorders. A professional genetic counselor helps patients assess their personal and family history related to psychiatric conditions, discuss potential hereditary risks, and explore the implications for themselves and their relatives. The process aims to provide clarity about the role genetics may play in mental health, support informed decision-making regarding health and lifestyle choices, and offer guidance on managing any associated risks.
