STRESS MANAGEMENT
This panel analyses genes that are responsible for mood variations, memory capacity, ability to withstand stress and social behavior. By investigating genetic predispositions responsible for production and function of neurotransmitters we identify specific biochemical reactions that need to be addressed.
We look at genes that impact production and utilization of the following neurotransmitters: serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, glutamate, GABA, as well as cortisol and thyroid hormones.
