The human genome contains approximately 20,000 protein coding genes, and a third of those are active primarily in the brain. While genes are “hard-coded", environment, lifestyle and experiences play a role in how genes are expressed, or how your body uses those genetic instructions.
The Mental Health Map tests for specific genetic variants that have been shown to influence behavior, mood, attention, stress response and more across the 7 Core Capabilities. The reports tells you how to use the insights to support mental wellness.
Each in-depth report provides an overview of the specific capability and identifies all related genetic variants and resulting predispositions.
Each core genetic mental health capability is influenced by traits, which result from the interaction of your genetic makeup and your environment.
Mechanisms are decided by genes that code for proteins, enzymes and receptors in the body. Mental health mechanisms impact the way you function in the world, form thoughts and display emotions.
We inherit two copies of most genes. One copy is inherited from our father and another from our mother. This combination is your genotype and influences your traits.
The reports identify genetic predispositions you may have for various traits. While this means you may be more likely to feel or behave a certain way, your environment and lifestyle are factors too.
Each report includes detailed insights and actions you can take to improve different areas of your mental wellbeing based on the latest genetic science.
Our seven unique reports include up to 59 genetic mental health predispositions with guidance that may help to improve mental wellness. There are also over 100 educational videos in the report so that you can learn more about the relation between genetics and mental health.
Each report identifies possible mental health predispositions based on genotypes.
