FAQs
Can hormones really affect my mood?
Yes. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all influence mood and energy. A consultation and lab work can help show whether hormones may be playing a role for you.
Is this a replacement for mental health care?
No. Dr. Prieto looks at the hormonal side of mood changes and can work alongside your other providers. If you’re in crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis line right away.
