Bone, brain, and mood: what we can and cannot claim
Cancer history, migraines with aura, and VTE risk change the conversation before any prescription.
Women's Hormone Therapy for Hollywood patients
Walk-in HRT URLs are retained; care is scheduled.
Thyroid and HRT overlap: check TSH before attributing everything to estradiol.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Is this anti-aging?
No.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
How close is the office?
About 0 minutes from Hollywood.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
What we do not do
Antidepressant-only care can be right; hormone-only care can be right; both can be wrong.
GYN-only care may miss bipolar mixed features. We screen.
We will not out-advertise a pellet clinic on Instagram. We will out-document them.
DSM-5-TR framing for perimenopause HRT
Not indicated when VTE or estrogen-sensitive cancer history blocks estrogen without oncology input.
PMDD meeting diagnostic timing.
Not indicated as anti-aging retail.
perimenopause HRT still requires a visit.
From intake to follow-up: Women's Hormone Therapy
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
Order labs that could change the plan.
Monitoring and safety in Women's Hormone Therapy
Mood scales at baseline and follow-up.
BP check.
Postpartum: screen for psychosis.
Informed consent stored.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
