Thyroid plus sex-hormone review for psychiatric symptoms

Top-rated language is ignored. Risk counseling is the product.
Clinical FAQ
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.
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.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
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.
