Order morning total T; repeat if low.
Symptom timeline vs training, sleep, opioids, alcohol, depression.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated for athletic enhancement.

Not indicated when fertility is the near-term goal unless a fertility-preserving plan exists.
Second opinion after a mill start.
Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Sleep apnea?
We screen. Treating apnea can change T and mood without TRT.
Do you start TRT on visit one?
Almost never. We need history and confirmatory morning labs.
Opioids and T?
Opioids suppress T. Pain and psych plans must talk to each other.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
Bone density?
We refer when indicated.
Anxiety on TRT?
Report it. Dose and diagnosis may be wrong.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.
