Neurotransmitter Testing in Adelaide – Mental Health Specialist Naturopath
Our specialist neurotransmitter testing can help uncover the underlying causes of your mental health issues! Are you feeling out of balance, struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulty concentrating or mood swings? The key to improving your mental and emotional health may lie in your neurotransmitter balance. At Adelaide Naturopathic, we offer comprehensive neurotransmitter testing in Adelaide to help identify imbalances and develop personalised treatment plans that restore harmony to your brain chemistry. Our testing is especially useful if psychologists or treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and standard medications such as SSRI’s haven’t been useful.
What is Neurotransmitter Testing?
Neurotransmitter testing involves measuring the levels of key neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain that play a crucial role in regulating mood, behaviour, sleep, and more. This testing can be done through a simple neurotransmitter urine test, providing valuable insights into the functioning of your nervous system and overall mental health.
We can issue you with the necessary testing through our Adelaide clinic. But if you don’t live near the clinic, don’t worry! We can do Telehealth appointments and post testing kits directly to you so there is no need to visit the clinic or a lab! We help people from all around Australia with our neurotransmitter testing and other advanced health tests.
At Adelaide Naturopathic, we’re the leading clinic for neurotransmitter testing in Adelaide, using advanced methods to assess your levels of serotonin, dopamine, GABA, glutamate, as well as many other critical neurotransmitters and metabolites. By analysing your unique biochemical profile, we can uncover the underlying causes of symptoms like depression, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. This can help us shape a treatment that can:
- Help improve mental health symptoms
- Help identify the underlying causes and target these
Why Neurotransmitter Testing is Essential
Despite what many may tell you, mental health is not always due to trauma, poor thought patterns and other habits. Often the balance in neurotransmitters plays a major (if not the whole) role in mental health issues.
Neurotransmitters are responsible for communication between brain cells, influencing everything from mood and focus to sleep and memory. Imbalances in neurotransmitter levels can lead to a variety of mental health challenges, including:
- Depression: Low levels of serotonin or dopamine can lead to feelings of sadness and loss of interest in life.
- Anxiety: Imbalances in GABA, glutamate or serotonin can contribute to nervousness, worry, and panic attacks.
- Fatigue and Low Energy: Dysregulated neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine can leave you feeling drained and mentally fatigued.
- Insomnia: Imbalances in GABA, serotonin, or glutamate can interfere with your ability to sleep soundly.
- Poor Focus or Memory: Imbalances in neurotransmitters like glutamate or dopamine can affect cognitive function.
By using our neurotransmitter test, we can precisely identify which neurotransmitters are out of balance and create a targeted and specific treatment to restore mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall improvement in mental health.

How Does Neurotransmitter Testing Work?
The neurotransmitter urine test is a non-invasive and straightforward way to test your neurotransmitter levels. This test involves collecting a urine sample, which is then analysed to determine the concentration of various neurotransmitters. Testing can be done in the comfort of your own home, and the results provide a detailed analysis of neurotransmitter imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Once the test results are received, our experienced naturopaths will interpret the data in the context of your unique health history, lifestyle, and symptoms. We will then develop a comprehensive treatment plan that may include dietary changes, supplementation, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments to help restore neurotransmitter balance.
Why Didn’t My Doctor or Psychologist Recommend Neurotransmitter Testing?
Unfortunately neurotransmitter testing is not widely known by either doctors or psychologists. They don’t have training in interpreting these results like our specialist naturopaths do. These tests are also not covered under medicare, therefore your doctor will often not even be aware that this pathology testing exists.

Common Neurotransmitter Imbalances
Some common neurotransmitter imbalances that our testing can help identify include:
- Serotonin Imbalance: Low levels of serotonin are often linked to depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
- Dopamine Deficiency: Low dopamine can lead to fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, concentration issues, ADHD symptoms, addictive tendencies, and feelings of apathy.
- GABA Deficiency: Low GABA levels can cause increased anxiety, restlessness, panic attacks, sleep issues, and trouble relaxing.
- Norepinephrine Imbalance: Imbalances can lead to poor focus, memory issues, and emotional instability.
- Glutamate Excess: Excess glutamate can cause heightened stress, anxiety, and even neurodegeneration.
Understanding these imbalances allows us to recommend specific interventions to support optimal brain chemistry and improve your overall mental health.
