Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have been struggling with depression since menopause and it has become worse. I am on estradiol and progesterone and have tried many anti-depressants that either don t work or the side-effects are awful. I think having such low estrogen is really affecting me. Is there something I can do. Should I go to an endrocrinologist? My psychiatrist is running out of meds to try and I am sick of trying them. Any other suggestions?
