Colorado Comprehensive Treatment for
Women’s Mental Health


Understanding Women’s Mental Health

Women’s mental health is influenced by a combination of hormonal changes, reproductive health, societal expectations, and life transitions. These unique factors can contribute to specific mental health challenges that require specialized care and treatment.

While women experience common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, some conditions are directly related to pregnancy, menstrual cycles, and hormonal fluctuations.

Common Women’s Mental Health Conditions

Women’s mental health concerns include a range of disorders, some of which are specific to biological and reproductive changes:

Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health Disorders

  • Postpartum Depression (PPD) – Persistent feelings of sadness, exhaustion, and emotional distress after childbirth

  • Postpartum Anxiety – Intense worry, restlessness, and panic attacks related to motherhood

  • Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) – Emotional disturbances occurring during pregnancy and after childbirth

Hormonal and Menstrual-Related Mood Disorders

  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) – Severe mood swings, depression, and anxiety tied to the menstrual cycle

  • Menopause-Related Depression – Mood changes, irritability, and sleep disturbances due to hormonal shifts

Other Common Mental Health Challenges Affecting Women

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – Persistent and excessive worry about daily life

  • Depression and Mood Disorders – Long-lasting sadness, hopelessness, or mood instability

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Often linked to experiences such as sexual trauma, abuse, or violence

  • Eating Disorders – Body image concerns that can lead to conditions like anorexia or binge eating disorder

These conditions can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being, making professional support essential.

How We Support Women's Mental Health

At Summit Together Mental Health, we provide personalized psychiatric care for women navigating mental health challenges. Our evidence-based approach includes comprehensive evaluations, medication management, and holistic strategies to help individuals regain emotional stability and improve their quality of life.

1. Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation

We conduct in-depth assessments to identify the root causes of mental health concerns and tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs.

2. Medication Management for Women’s Mental Health

For those experiencing moderate to severe symptoms, medication may be an effective part of treatment. Commonly prescribed options include:

  • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) – Used for depression, anxiety, PMDD, and postpartum mood disorders (Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Escitalopram)

  • Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) – Effective for depression and menopause-related mood disturbances (Venlafaxine, Duloxetine)

  • Anxiolytics and Beta-Blockers – Used for acute anxiety relief and physical symptoms such as panic attacks

Our providers closely monitor medication responses and adjust treatment plans to ensure optimal outcomes with minimal side effects.

3. Lifestyle and Holistic Strategies

In addition to medication, we provide guidance on self-care and lifestyle modifications to support women’s mental well-being, including:

  • Stress management techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation exercises

  • Nutritional recommendations to balance mood and energy levels

  • Sleep hygiene practices to improve rest and overall mental health

  • Routine-building strategies to help manage symptoms effectively
