Estradiol, progesterone, and the psychiatric differential
Estrogen and progesterone affect serotonin and sleep architecture. That is physiology, not a guarantee that HRT will replace an antidepressant.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Libido workup is medical, not moral.
Progesterone therapy can help some sleep/anxiety pictures and worsen others — that is why follow-up exists.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Mood scales at baseline and follow-up.
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.
TSH with free T4.

Hallandale Beach FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?
Yes. Our practice serves South Florida's diverse communities with culturally aware psychiatric care. Dr. Chatelier's multicultural background informs her compassionate, evidence-based approach.
