Bone, brain, and mood: what we can and cannot claim
Postpartum mood is time-sensitive. This page is not a substitute for emergency obstetric or psychiatric care.
What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
Perimenopause HRT decisions require a history of cycles, vasomotor symptoms, and psychiatric syndromes.
Postpartum hormone therapy is not a substitute for postpartum depression/psychosis protocols.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Coordinate with GYN/PCP.
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.

Postpartum depression was minimized as adjustment.
Protocol elements we do not skip
BP check.
Bleeding on HRT = GYN, not 'watch forever.'
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.
Postpartum: screen for psychosis.

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
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.
