Please also review the “corrections” audio recording for this episode when it becomes available.
I’ve set this link to the YouTube video we reference during the second half of the discussion to the time stamp for Dr. Sarrel. We are discussing the testimonies made by experts for the next 30 minutes from the time stamp.
Our entire podcast episode is about an hour long. The first 30 minutes are my own experience with misdiagnosis when the only thing wrong the whole time was perimenopause.
TRIGGER WARNINGS AND DISCLOSURES FOR THE EPISODE:
Discussion of suicidal ideation (my own)
We are not medical professionals. In this, we refrain from mentioning specific forms and delivery methods of hormones for human use, but we do mention the delivery methods of the ones I use.
None of this is intended to be medical advice. Talk to your doctor and if your doctor dismisses you and won’t do lab tests then the only advice is to get a doc who’ll order labs.
When we discuss depression, anxiety, and ADHD diagnoses, it is important to note that we are not dismissing the fact that many people have legitimate need for therapeutic medications. What we are mentioning here is that some people are misdiagnosed with neurological diseases when are actually suffering from an endocrine disorder.
We definitely get some facts, figures, and the names of some molecules incorrect. I cringed when I listened but I’m not going to go back and make corrections at the moment. When I have a couple hours to sit down and listen again then I will make some notes and create a “corrections” audio recording to accompany this episode.
