7. Psychiatric Genetic Counselling

Psychiatric genetic counselling is a specialized form of guidance that helps individuals and families understand the role of genetics in mental health conditions. During these sessions, a trained counsellor explains how genetic factors may influence the risk of developing certain psychiatric disorders, such as depression or schizophrenia. They also discuss family history, possible implications for relatives, and available testing options. The goal is to provide clarity, support informed decision-making, and empower individuals with knowledge about their mental health and potential genetic risks.
