Low hormone levels do not have to be a fact of life. Many men suffering from low testosterone may not even realize they have a hormonal imbalance. Often low testosterone is misdiagnosed as depression or “midlife crisis”. Many women suffer emotionally during hormonal changes (Premenstrual, Pregnancy, Menopausal, Teenage years) and these hormonal imbalances can worsen their symptoms of anxiety and depression.

As an Integrative Medical Practitioner focusing on holistic health, Dr. Melinda Silva treats the root cause of low hormone levels and not just the symptoms. In some cases, there are neurotransmitter imbalances which can cause or worsen depression and other mood changes.

At times, people may be able to reduce antidepressant doses when on hormone therapies and even wean off antidepressant therapies.
