What This Test Measures
- Genetic variants affecting serotonin, dopamine, and stress hormone pathways
- PGx markers for antidepressants, anxiolytics, and mood stabilizers
- Swab collection (buccal)
Why It Matters
Mental health is deeply personal — and your genes play a major role. The Mental Health Genomic panel helps uncover how genetic differences impact mood regulation, stress resilience, and medication response. With this insight, you and your clinician can pursue targeted, evidence-based approaches for better balance and emotional well-being.
Collection Method
- Collect sample (instructions included in the test kit)
- Return in the prepaid envelope
- Access results securely in the Boomerang Kits App
- Track and monitor results over time
Understand Your Emotional Biology
Evaluates variants in serotonin, dopamine, and stress hormone pathways
Explore how your genetic makeup may influence mood, emotional balance, and stress reactivity. Gain insight into the biological systems that shape mental well-being.
Personalized Medication Insight
Includes PGx context relevant to antidepressants, anxiolytics, and mood stabilizers
Learn how your genetics may affect response to common psychiatric medications — giving your provider added clarity for safer, more informed treatment choices.
Collaborative Care Support
Supports shared decision-making with your provider
Use your report as a tool for conversation — helping you and your clinician tailor treatment approaches, therapies, and lifestyle strategies uniquely for you.
Simple, Fast, and Non-Invasive
Non-invasive buccal swab; results typically 24–48 hours after lab receipt
Collect your DNA sample in seconds at home — no needles, no hassle. Your secure results appear in the Boomerang Kits app within 2 days of lab processing.

What the Men’s Panel Measures
Get a comprehensive at-home read on hormones (total/free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol as specified), thyroid (TSH ± Free T3/T4), lipids, blood sugar (HbA1c, glucose), and inflammation indicators (as specified). See how these markers relate to energy, strength, body composition, mood, recovery, sexual health, and long-term vitality.
How to Use Your Results
Turn numbers into action for performance and longevity. Your report highlights ranges and trends with clear guidance for training, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and supplements, plus when to retest (every 3–6 months). Establish a baseline, track progress, and share a downloadable summary with your clinician to refine your plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included, how to collect, when you’ll see results, and how to use them.
What does this panel measure?
Genetic variants affecting serotonin, dopamine, and stress hormone regulation—including SLC6A4, 5-HTTLPR, and FKBP5—alongside pharmacogenomic markers for antidepressants, anxiolytics, and mood stabilizers.
How is this different from traditional testing?
Boomerang Laboratories integrates pharmacogenomic and neurochemical pathway analysis within a CLIA-certified framework. Results are interpreted for clinical clarity and securely delivered through the Boomerang Kits App.
Who benefits most from this panel?
Individuals exploring medication response or mental wellness optimization, as well as clinicians seeking data-driven insight into patient care.
How do I collect the sample?
Collect a cheek swab following the included instructions. Place the swab in the provided transport tube, seal, and return via the prepaid envelope.
How long until I see my results?
You’ll typically receive results within 24–48 hours after lab receipt.
Where do I view my results?
Results are available exclusively within your secure Boomerang Kits App account.
Is my data private?
Yes. Boomerang Laboratories ensures all genetic data is encrypted, HIPAA-compliant, and accessible only to you unless shared by your choice.
How should I use these results?
Discuss your genomic report with a licensed healthcare provider to integrate insights into your overall mental wellness strategy.
How do I return my sample?
Use the prepaid mailer included in your kit and drop it off at any postal location.
What if my sample can’t be processed?
We’ll notify you and provide a replacement kit free of charge.
Is this covered by insurance?
Boomerang Kits are not typically billed to insurance. HSA/FSA funds may apply depending on your plan.
What other panels complement this one?
ADHD Genomic, Addiction Genomic, and GenomeRx Insight Panels for a comprehensive pharmacogenomic and behavioral profile.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. This test provides genetic insight for informational purposes only. Results should be interpreted by a qualified clinician as part of a holistic approach to care.
