PMDD and menopause-related mood: a medical evaluation
Leftover 'affordable estrogen' slugs are not a cash hormone mill.

Protocol elements we do not skip
BP check.
Bleeding on HRT = GYN, not 'watch forever.'
Pregnancy test when relevant before hormones.
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.
Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
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 leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
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.
Indications and differentials

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
