How did you find out about the MTHFR mutation? How was it tested for?

I took a mail-in genetic test from Genomind. I didn't understand the significance of the result until I was coincidentally prescribed Deplin and mentioned the mood change to my ADHD coach, who connected the dots.

Having a concrete scientific explanation for the empirical result I was seeing was a great confidence booster, bolstered some hypotheses I had, and helped me identify next steps in my journey.
