Clinical FAQ
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
How close is the office?
About 28 minutes from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
Are psychiatric services available near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
While we're not located in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, our Hollywood office is about 25 minutes away, and our telehealth platform makes follow-up care extremely convenient for coastal residents.
Do you address seasonal mood changes?
Yes. Seasonal affective patterns, including reverse SAD (summer-related), are recognized in our evaluations. Florida's unique climate patterns can affect mood differently than northern states.

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.
