Suggest Treatment For Severe Depression
Question: can a gynecologist treat depression for someone who is postmenapausal? what about obesity which has set in during the past 1 year?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Geriatric depression requires treatment by a specialist. I would seek out a psychiatrist to treat your depression -- gynecologists are not trained to manage this. Obesity is a medical problem best treated by a family medicine doctor or an internist -- again, this is outside the realm of training for gynecologists.
