I have been on compounded hormone therapy for the past 11 years. I am 65 years old and was suffering from severe depression in 2011. My functional medicine doctor suggested bio-identical hormone replacement therapy as opposed to the traditional prescription medicines used to treat depression. Best decision I ever made! This compounded hormone therapy gave me my life back without the unwanted side effects of taking prescription meds to treat my depression. Please do not take this away from all the individuals who have benefited from them over the years.
