PMDD and menopause-related mood: a medical evaluation
Estrogen and progesterone affect serotonin and sleep architecture. That is physiology, not a guarantee that HRT will replace an antidepressant.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Top-rated language is ignored. Risk counseling is the product.
Female hormone doctor in consumer search often means a prescriber. Here it is a PMHNP-BC coordinating with GYN.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Informed consent stored.
Bleeding on HRT = GYN, not 'watch forever.'
Postpartum: screen for psychosis.
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.

Lighthouse Point FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Document lactation plans.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Review contraindications to estrogen.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
