Let’s Figure This Out.
Not all symptoms are what they seem.
Dr. Gardner brings rare MULTI-specialty insight to help uncover what’s often missed. It could be a psychiatric disorder, an endocrine issue, or both.
Psycho-neuro-endocrinology lays at the intersection of the medical specialties of psychiatry, neurology, and endocrinology. Defined, it is the clinical study of hormone fluctuations and their relationship to human behavior. In everyday terms, that means that changes in the hormonal system or endocrine system can effect behaviors such that you, or a family member, might think you have a psychiatric condition. In fact, these systems are interconnected.
Dr Gardner is one of the rare specialists in this particular field.
