Understanding PCOS: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

At Welsh Therapy, we prioritize a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that underlying medical conditions can significantly impact emotional well-being. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one such condition that often goes undiagnosed, particularly in teens, young adults, and women presenting with specific symptoms.

When our clients present with these symptoms, it is our priority to rule out any potential medical diagnosis within the first few weeks of therapy. This process includes:

​

  1. Collaborating with clients to discuss their physical and emotional symptoms in detail.

  2. Encouraging clients to seek medical evaluation to confirm or rule out PCOS or other related conditions.

  3. Providing support and resources to navigate the diagnostic process.

Supporting Clients Diagnosed with PCOS

If a client is diagnosed with PCOS and begins appropriate medical treatment, we continue to provide therapeutic support, focusing on:

​

  • Promoting Healthy Lifestyle Changes:
