Bone, brain, and mood: what we can and cannot claim
Oakland Park patients can complete counseling by Florida telehealth; some exams and procedures cannot.
What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
Thyroid and HRT overlap: check TSH before attributing everything to estradiol.
Low estrogen is a lab and a syndrome, not a marketing category.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Review contraindications to estrogen.
Map the menstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopausal timeline onto the mood timeline.
Refer to emergency care for postpartum psychosis or severe SI.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Clinical FAQ
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 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 about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
