Whether you are experiencing natural shifts due to age, or facing challenging imbalances,
hormones define how you feel, function and interact with the world.

What you should know about women’s mental health...

Myth
Getting married, or taking birth control medication solves all hormonal imbalances.
Fact
Hormonal imbalances can affect women differently and treatment requires a comprehensive understanding of their medical history, lifestyle, emotional and environmental factors. There are also different kinds of birth control/contraceptive methods which are prescribed for specific conditions. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and it is best to consult your gynaecologist and psychiatrist for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Myth
Medicating for hormonal imbalances worsens mental health.
Fact
Studies have been revealing that hormones and mental health are cross-dependent. Medication prescribed by a doctor, whether psychiatric or hormonal, can help improve your overall well-being. It is recommended to inform your doctor about any existing mental health concerns for relevant and helpful medication. The best way to manage such concerns is to build a comprehensive care plan in collaboration with your gynaecologist and psychiatrist for optimum support.
Myth
Psychiatric medication is unsafe for pregnant women/women who breastfeed.
Fact
Psychiatric medication taken under a psychiatrist’s guidance is generally safe. It is important to talk to your psychiatrist about existing health concerns or developments like pregnancy so that they can prescribe medication accordingly.
Myth
A low, or lack of, sex drive is normal for women.
Fact
“Normal” is subjective; it would be defined by what any individual has been feeling consistently for over a period of time. However, a sudden decrease in sex drive or sexual desire can be indicative of underlying concerns. It is also important to note that if your sex drive is causing you physical or emotional discomfort, it is best to reach out to your doctor for advice.
