SouthlakebrStyle: You’re offering help forbrPTSD sufferers by using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Whatbrcan you share with us about this therapy?
Dr. Donovitz: The veterans with PTSD are nearly all deplete in testosterone. Thisbrcontributes to their depression, fatigue, insomnia and pain. Replacing andbroptimizing their hormones is life changing. They sleep better, their nightmaresbrare reduced, and their depression improves. Bottom line: They are betterbrhusbands, fathers and mothers. Often, they can return to society and workbragain.
