Psychiatric Genetic Counselling

Psychiatric genetic counselling is a supportive process that helps individuals understand how genetics can influence mental health conditions. Trained counselors discuss family history, genetic risks, and the implications of genetic testing. They provide information about how genes may contribute to disorders like depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia, helping individuals make informed decisions about their health. The goal is to empower individuals with knowledge, enabling them to understand their mental health better and consider potential preventive or therapeutic options. This counselling can also guide families in discussing and addressing mental health issues together.
