Living with a mental health challenges can be stressful even during the best of times. Then COVID-19 came along. Quarantine, distancing, not seeing family and loved ones, and economic worries have all added to the struggles of people dealing with mental wellness. On top of that, back-to-school stress is compounding the mental stressors were all dealing with right now.

Parents, many of whom may be dealing with their own mental and emotional struggles, have taken on the burden of worrying about their childs mental health as well. With the back to school season in full swing, stress and anxiety are at an all-time high as families grapple with the reality of additional distance learning, or the potential dangers of returning to the classroom. Its natural for parents to wonder whether the last five months and whatever lies ahead will have a lasting effect on kids mental well-being.
So how can parents take back control of mental wellness in the age of COVID-19?
A first-ever consumer DNA test is helping unlock the connection between genetics and mental wellness. One cheek swab will produce results that will help people better understand how genes affect ones predisposition for stress, focus, substance abuse, sleep, and more.
Organized around Genominds proprietary 7 Core Genetic Mental Health Capabilities, the test analyzes 38 genetic variants and their influence on 29 mental health traits. The result is an interactive report that details 59 possible behavioral predispositions specific to each users genetic profile, along with resources and actionable recommendations shown to improve wellness and quality of life. Genomind Mental Health Map is the only DNA test in the consumer market with a specific focus on mental health and wellness, and is available without prescription. The test should not be used as a diagnostic or risk assessment for mental health diseases and disorders.
