Through case studies we will review:
- When can mood change in midlife make you think of hormones?
- Ways of communicating with patients that hormone treatment may not be the answer.
- How progesterone can be beneficial, but also lead to side effects and be intolerable in hormonal management.
As always, we will answer as many questions as time permits.
