Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Men's Testosterone Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Men's Testosterone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
