Dr. Gretchen Kubacky | PCOS: Supporting your Mental Health
In acknowledgement of PCOS Awareness Month, Dr Gretchen Kubacky speaks to the mental health impacts of PCOS. Dr Gretchen is a health psychologist in private practice in Southern California and author of The PCOS Mood Cure and Moving Through Grief. She is a Certified PCOS Educator, a frequent lecturer on women’s health, and the founder of the popular website, PCOSwellness.com. She is dedicated to education, advocacy, and empowerment for women and girls with PCOS.
On this episode, Dr Gretchen discusses:
- Why it is important to manage PCOS as soon as possible
- How and why PCOS and mental health go hand in hand
- Simple tips for managing your PCOS and mental health
- And most importantly – why there is no magic fix and what you can do about it instead
“And so the reality is that there’s no magic way to fix all of this. Everybody’s solution does have to be customized. And I think that’s a really unappealing option. People want to be handed the one pill, here’s the diet – “Here’s the exercise plan. That’s all you have to do. It’ll fix everything.” It rarely works that way in PCOS.”
