Neuropsychiatric Genetics Counselling

Neuropsychiatric genetics counseling helps individuals and families understand the genetic factors related to neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It involves discussing how genes can influence the risk of these conditions and what that means for health and family planning. Counselors provide information about genetic testing, potential outcomes, and coping strategies. The goal is to empower patients with knowledge to make informed decisions, support their mental health, and understand how genetics can play a role in their and their children's well-being.
