Welcome to the Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Podcast. The podcast to help you in your journey

towards becoming a wise, empathic, genuine and connected mental health professional.

I'm your host, Dr. David Puder, a psychiatrist who splits his time practicing psychopharmacology,

individual and group psychotherapy, medical director of a day treatment program,

medical education research, and teaching residents and medical students.

We are back on the podcast. I am here with a colleague of mine,

a soon-to-be attending physician. I know her as Mona. Do you want to pronounce your full name for me?

Mona, Mochete, Zade.

Okay. And I'm really happy to have Mona on here.

We've been talking about this topic in our supervision. We meet together once a week

and discuss patients, discuss things going on. And we've been talking about

having an episode on kind of woman's health issues. So welcome to the podcast.

All right. Thanks for having me, Dr. Puder. I'm very happy to be joining you here.

So Mona, tell me a little bit about what makes you excited about studying this.

Tell me a little bit about that.

Oh, actually, you know, I had the opportunity to have Dr. Puder be supervising me

for the past couple since January this year. And when we started,

first session of supervision, Dr. Puder, you were asking me,

what are your career interests? So one of them is really woman mental health

and getting into the most recent data and news that are on top in this field.

It's actually effects of hormonal contraceptives and mood.

Yeah. So I was excited to know more about this.
