Neurotransmitter Testing Addresses Treatment Failure
When patients have sufficient, targeted neurotransmitters for each medication to work on, the medications work better.
~ Chip Watkins
Neurotransmitter Measurement - Dr. Watkins: Indications & Validity
R.W. "Chip" Watkins, MD, MPH, FAAFP, from Asheville, NC: The Chief Medial Officer at Sanesco International and Laboratory Director at NeuroLab, Inc., tells us important details about the value and predictability of neurotransmitter testing. Yes, urinary neurotransmitters do correlate with brain levels and can help turn the tide when you find yourself down the dark path of treatment failure.

For compelling evidence, Sanesco provides urinary neurotransmitter testing as well as adrenal hormone testing. This lab correlates patient symptoms via a questionnaire and their laboratory results in something they call a correlation analysis. Clinicians then use this actionable data to make decisions about specific, targeted treatment options. Tune in as Chip discusses the usefulness of neurotransmitter testing and advanced biomedical testing for everyday psychiatric practices.

In fact, neurotransmitter and endocrine details matter, and remain remarkably cost efficient - especially when stacked up against the cost of treatment failure. If you don't look, you can't see.
