EP 92: Why Your Endocrinologist and Psychologist Should Be Talking to Each Other

What happens when your hormones are affecting your mental health—but your providers aren’t communicating?

In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Sht*, Tiffany and Joe from Buckeye PMR dive into the powerful connection between endocrinology and psychology, and why treating the body and mind as separate systems can leave patients feeling frustrated, overlooked, and stuck.

From thyroid disorders and hormone imbalances to anxiety, depression, mood changes, and chronic stress, they discuss how physical and mental health are deeply intertwined. You’ll learn why collaboration between your endocrinologist and psychologist can lead to better diagnoses, more effective treatment plans, and ultimately, better outcomes.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still don’t feel like yourself, this episode will help you understand why looking at the whole picture matters.

🎙️ Topics covered:

• The connection between hormones and mental health
• How endocrine disorders can impact mood and behavior
• Why integrated care leads to better patient outcomes
• Signs your healthcare providers should be communicating
• What patients can do to advocate for more coordinated care

Because sometimes the reason you don’t feel like yourself isn’t “all in your head”—and it isn’t just your hormones either.
