Physicians who are the front-line treatment providers for mental health issues don’t always recognize the value of mental health professionals for their own mental health needs. Or they recognize the value, but don’t use them because of concerns about privacy and confidentiality. In a just-published survey of 3,500 doctors in the UK, researchers found: Nearly three quarters of respondents said they would rather discuss mental health problems with family or friends than seek formal or informal advice, citing reasons such as career implications, professional integrity, and perceived stigma of mental health problems. Let’s go through some of those ...

The basic principle of NHR is that if hormones need replacing, then they should be replaced, as far as possible, with the identical hormones, and that the natural balance between these hormones should be maintained. In contrast, conventional hormone replacement (HRT) replaces the hormones that are lacking with synthetic versions (which have a different molecular structure and are totally foreign to the body, e.g. progestogens rather than progesterone), extract of pregnant mares’ urine (again totally foreign to the human body!) or strong, unbalanced forms of oestrogen (such as oestradiol, in oestrogen patche...
