So what kind of clinician should you seek out? What is needed is someone who is skilled in dealing with all of the above areas of change. Failing that, you need to see someone who understands male menopause and can help facilitate the involvement of other clinicians as needed.
Finding the right kind of help isn't easy, as there are few people anywhere in the country who have the kind of training that is needed. I am in the process of gathering together a list of the best practitioners throughout the country and around the world. If you'd like to contact me at Jed@MenAlive.com, I'd be glad to send you a listing of those I am aware of that I feel can be most helpful.
(Note: Any clinicians reading this article? If you specialize in treating male menopause, please let me know about your work.)
