Dr. Eric Levin answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Sometimes: Discuss with your endocrinologist. Ask about a dietary plan, exercise plan. Also i would suggest a sleep log since good sleep is essential for recovery. Do you have other medical problems and medications which you take for those conditions. All of this needs to be taken into account.
