Bioidentical Hormone Therapy and Mental Health Support (BHRT) in Wyoming

Hormones play an important role in brain function, mood regulation, energy, sleep, motivation, and cognitive clarity. Changes in hormone patterns over time can contribute to mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, irritability, and brain fog, which can significantly impact quality of life.

At Meadowlark Mind & Body, bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) may be used off-label as an adjunct to psychiatric care when hormonal patterns appear to be contributing to mental health symptoms. The purpose of treatment is to support mental and emotional well-being, not to diagnose or treat endocrine disease.

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to those produced by the human body and may be considered in carefully selected patients to support:

• Mood stability and emotional regulation
• Energy, motivation, and mental clarity
• Sleep quality and circadian rhythm balance
• Stress tolerance and nervous system regulation

Hormone therapy is individualized and integrated into a comprehensive mental health treatment plan that may also include psychiatric medications, psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, and nutritional support. Treatment decisions are guided by symptoms, clinical history, and laboratory data, which serve as psychiatric decision-support tools.

This practice does not diagnose or treat medical endocrine conditions such as hypogonadism, thyroid disease, menopause as a disease state, adrenal disorders, or other non-psychiatric medical conditions. When medical conditions are suspected or identified, appropriate referral or coordination with a primary care provider or specialist is recommended.

All hormone-related treatments are discussed in detail with patients, including their off-label use for mental health symptoms, potential risks, benefits, alternatives, and monitoring considerations. Hormone therapy is continued only when a meaningful improvement in mental health symptoms and overall functioning is observed.

*Hormone therapy is used off-label to support mood, energy, sleep, cognition, and mental health symptoms and is not intended to replace medical or endocrine care.
