What is Reproductive Psychiatry?
Standard psychiatry treats general mental health. Reproductive Psychiatry specifically focuses on psychiatric conditions related to the reproductive cycle. We provide expert care for:
1. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
PMDD is far more severe than typical PMS. It is a serious condition where hormonal shifts cause debilitating depression, severe irritability, and anxiety in the week before menstruation.
- The Difference: While PMS is physical discomfort, PMDD can make you feel like a different person, impacting your work and relationships.
- The Solution: We treat PMDD with targeted therapies and specific medication protocols that regulate how your brain responds to hormonal drops.
2. Perinatal & Postpartum Depression
Excessive worry about the baby's health or birth during pregnancy.
Persistent sadness, exhaustion, or disconnection from baby that requires medical attention.
A rare but emergency condition involving confusion or hallucinations after birth.
Fleeting mood changes in first 2 weeks — different from clinical PPD.
3. Menopause & Perimenopause
Often called "the second puberty," the transition to menopause brings a massive drop in estrogen. This can trigger new onset depression, severe anxiety, sleep disturbances, and brain fog in women who have never struggled with mental health before.
