Psychiatric Times features monthly themes that speak to various aspects of psychiatry and issues relevant to psychiatric clinicians. Our March 2026 theme focuses on the interplay between hormones and psychiatry. Hormones can significantly affect brain chemistry when imbalanced, and thus play a major role in the whole-patient care continuum.

How do stress hormones impact psychiatric symptoms? What role do sex hormones and gender play in psychiatric treatment? How do you discuss issues concerning hormonal birth control with patients? Do you utilize hormone monitoring in you clinical practice? Do you have practice tips to offer your fellow mental health clinicians? Have you experienced a patient case that could help others learn?
