DNA Mind reports on variants in 30 genes involved in key biological pathways, from serotonin and dopamine to inflammation and methylation, that have been shown to have significant associations with mental health, and provides personalised diet, lifestyle and nutraceutical recommendations as well as valuable ‘diagnostic insights’.

Clinical value:

The test is suitable for those who are concerned about a family history of, or are personally suffering from mental illness, specifically in the area of addiction, cognitive decline, or mood disorders. The Medcheck test should be considered alongside DNA Mind in these cases.
