PMDD and menopause-related mood: a medical evaluation
Walk-in HRT is not how this clinic works. Hormone decisions follow labs and a history.
Women's Hormone Therapy for Aventura patients

Postpartum hormone therapy is not a substitute for postpartum depression/psychosis protocols.
Protocol elements we do not skip
No pellet-only practice.
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.
Emergency precautions for chest pain/neuro deficits on estrogen.

Clinical FAQ
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Is your practice discreet for Aventura patients?
Absolutely. We maintain strict HIPAA compliance, and our telehealth option ensures complete privacy. Many Aventura patients prefer virtual appointments from their residence or office.
Do you address image-related anxiety and mood disorders?
Yes. We treat the full spectrum of anxiety and mood disorders, including those related to social pressure, perfectionism, and performance expectations common in high-achieving communities.

Visit flow for Women's Hormone Therapy

Map the menstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopausal timeline onto the mood timeline.
Review contraindications to estrogen.
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Next step
After Women's Hormone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
