Genetic Testing: Find the Best Depression Medication for Your DNA

Genetic Testing is how our doctors can personalize your depression treatment with just a simple cheek swab.

Tired of guessing which depression medication might work for you? Here at Advantage Mental Health, our patients can find the best depression medication treatment with just one easy cheek swab. After our staff take your sample, a geneticist will analyze how your genes may interact with common psychiatric medications, so you can avoid endless frustrating medication trial-and-error periods.

You’ll receive a full report once your results come back, which you can keep and share with other healthcare providers in the future. Many patients find their genetic information in this report to be valuable beyond just mental health care. And the good news? In many cases, insurance will cover most of the cost of the test.

Specialized Treatments

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. These pulses help normalize brain chemistry, leading to long-term symptom relief for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and OCD.

The treatment consists of 36 sessions, each lasting approximately 19 minutes, and is performed daily over the course of several weeks. Patients love TMS because it’s medication-free, making it an excellent option for those who haven’t responded well to antidepressants in the past.

Our clinic offers the highest response rate of any TMS provider in the area. In fact, up to 73% of our patients report significant improvement in their symptoms, many even finding complete remission from depression. TMS treatment, has been FDA-cleared since 2008 and is covered by most insurance providers. We also offer our patients weekly group therapy sessions at no additional cost to you. If you’re ready for a different kind of solution, TMS may be what you’ve been looking for. Want to know more?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  When we needed mental health services we had no doctors in the Clearwater area. I was impressed by Dr Rizzo’s credentials and the fact that she could see us almost immediately. We are very happy with the help she has provided. She maintains an empathetic and professional demeanor. She is very truthful about the length of time it takes to improve your health with the medications involved. She’s always available when needed. Her staff is also very professional and friendly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I have been doing a clinical rotation as a nurse practitioner student with Advantage since May, 2023. The entire staff is amazing. They are all kind, knowledgable, and go above and beyond to help their patients each day. They have all taken the time to teach me and I am definitely going to be a better provider thanks to the time I've spent with them. I would not hesitate to recommend the practice to anyone I know who is having mental health struggles.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  My experience as a rotating medical student at Advantage Mental Health Center was truly incredible. I would highly recommend AMHC to anyone and everyone looking for excellent and compassionate mental health care. From the moment I entered the office, everyone I met was warm, welcoming, and very professional from the office staff to the TMS staff and providers. I had the amazing opportunity to learn from Dr. Rizzo and NPs Kellie Furlow and Cathi Stephens and observed the way they treated each and every one of their patients with kindness and compassion while often working together to come up with personalized and optimized treatment plans, including medication management, counseling, TMS, etc. It was refreshing to see how much they sincerely care about each of their patients and want to help improve their patients' lives. They are very flexible in terms of scheduling and responsive with any questions patients have. The office space itself is very well-planned and thoughtful with private waiting areas and everything to make you feel comfortable during your visit. It was absolutely a wonderful experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I can’t say enough positive things about TMS Advantage in Clearwater. They are a top notch facility that is very efficient, punctual, and every staff member genuinely wants to help your quality of life and cares about you as a person. They offer extras at no charge  like group therapy and activities that no other practice offers that I’m aware of and I researched several before deciding on TMS Advantage Clearwater. I’ve completed my 36 TMS treatments and can say it’s helped me tremendously. I looked forward to going to treatment every day. Everyone is so positive here. It’s not a “fix all”, but no treatment is, but if you go in with a positive attitude, you with definitely reap the benefits this practice has to offer. Check them out for yourself, I’m so glad I did. I will also continue to utilize those extra services they offer at no extra charge as an alumini!
