Indications and differentials

SSRI sexual dysfunction plus a hormone question.
Contraindication counseling itself can be the visit goal.

From intake to follow-up: Women's Hormone Therapy
Complete psychiatric evaluation standards (safety, bipolar screen, substances).
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Next step
Start with one thorough Women's Hormone Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
