Postpartum and perimenopausal mood evaluation
Estrogen and progesterone affect serotonin and sleep architecture. That is physiology, not a guarantee that HRT will replace an antidepressant.
Women's Hormone Therapy for Wilton Manors patients
Perimenopause HRT decisions require a history of cycles, vasomotor symptoms, and psychiatric syndromes.
Libido workup is medical, not moral.
From intake to follow-up: Women's Hormone Therapy

Wilton Manors FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.
