Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
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.
Why Hollywood presentations look the way they do
You were told you are 'too young' for perimenopause while cycles, sleep, and rage clustered luteally.
You commute from Hollywood to a clinic that only sells pellets.
A GYN and a psychiatrist do not share labs.
Women's Hormone Therapy versus a generic template visit
Antidepressant-only care can be right; hormone-only care can be right; both can be wrong.
Compounding pharmacies are tools, not religions.
GYN-only care may miss bipolar mixed features. We screen.
