Mental Health & DNA: What If It All Started in Our Genes?

Mental health isn’t always visible — but it’s deeply felt. Today more than ever, we understand that it depends on a complex balance between our environment, our personal experiences… and our biology.

What’s less known is that our DNA also plays a vital role in this equation.

Our Genes Can Influence Our Mental Well-Being

Some people are more vulnerable than others when it comes to anxiety, depression, or mood disorders. Why? Because each of us carries in our genetic makeup certain variations that can affect how we respond to stress, dopamine, or serotonin — key neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation.

Knowing your predispositions doesn’t mean you’re doomed to suffer. On the contrary, it means you can anticipate, understand, and take action.

A DNA Test to Better Understand Your Mental Health

Thanks to Adnà’s genetic predisposition test, it’s now possible to detect markers associated with various mental health risk factors. For example:

• a tendency to develop anxiety or depressive disorders
• increased sensitivity to chronic stress
• how your body metabolizes certain psychiatric medications

This information doesn’t replace a medical diagnosis — but it offers a valuable foundation for a proactive, personalized approach, in collaboration with a healthcare professional.

🧬 Understanding your DNA is understanding a key part of what supports your inner balance.

Getting to Know Yourself — All the Way to Your Personality

But mental health isn’t just about preventing disorders. It’s also about cultivating your strengths, embracing your personality traits, and building a healthier relationship with yourself.

That’s where our Talents & Personality DNA test comes in. This test explores your cognitive potential, your tendency toward introspection, creativity, or empathy — all traits influenced, in part, by your genetic profile.

It can help you better understand your emotional responses, social preferences, and the environments in which you thrive — whether at work, at home, or in relationships.

A Proactive and Compassionate Approach

At Adnà, we believe in a respectful, human-centered, and science-informed use of genetic testing. Our tests are not verdicts — they’re tools designed to help you move forward, know yourself better, and take care of your mental health with greater clarity.

Mental health shouldn’t be left to chance. With the help of genetics, we’re entering an era where knowledge becomes a tool for empowerment — a way to honor your story while opening the door to a calmer, more balanced future.
