Some issues Dr. Amy L. Gerhard, MD can help you with:

Depression

Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."

Some common symptoms of depression include:

Feeling sad, guilty, empty or hopeless
Fatigue and a lack of energy and motivation
A loss of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
Unusual sleep or eating habits
Mental fog -- trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
Physical aches and pains
Suicidal thoughts or a preoccupation with death

We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.

Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are mental and physical illnesses that impact behavior, emotions, and thoughts about eating, food, body appearance, and weight. These disorders are characterized by preoccupations with food and physical size, resulting in dramatic lifestyle changes and adverse health effects. In the past, eating disorders were often diagnosed using BMI (body mass index), or by assessing someone's weight. Eating disorders specialists now recognize that eating disorders may occur in people of all sizes. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder (BED).

Anorexia nervosa, frequently referred to as anorexia, is a disorder where people severely restrict the types and quantity of food they eat. Those with anorexia have an extreme fear of eating and gaining weight and may repeatedly weigh themselves or engage in harmful behaviors such as excessive exercise or starvation. Those with anorexia often find themselves preoccupied with food, but unable to consume a healthy amount of it. This results in symptoms such as abnormally low BMI, vitamin deficiency, fatigue, fainting, and amenorrhea (lack of menstruation in women). Anorexia may cause bluish discoloration of the hands, brittle and falling out hair, yellowish skin, and lanugo (fine, downy hair). Left untreated, anorexia can lead to organ failure, brain damage, and even death.

Bulimia nervosa, typically called bulimia, is a disorder where people binge (eat large quantities of food) and purge the food that they just consumed by vomiting, laxative abuse, fasting, or excessive exercise. This behavior is usually motivated by a feeling of powerlessness over eating and a fear of weight gain or desire for weight loss. Bulimia can occur in underweight, normal weight, and overweight people. Symptoms of bulimia include acid reflux, intestinal distress, dehydration from purging, amenorrhea, and dental erosion from vomiting. Some people with bulimia have swollen parotid glands (salivary glands near the cheeks) and red scars and marks on the backs of their knuckles. Electrolyte imbalance from bulimia can be particularly severe and may lead to heart attack or stroke.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder. People with BED feel that they are unable to control the amount of food they eat and may continue to binge after reaching a point of fullness. BED binges (consuming large amounts of food) are often accompanied by feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame. Symptoms of BED include obesity, acid reflux, weight gain, and dissatisfaction with one's body. People with BED tend to experience cycles of negative emotions and binges. Binges or BED episodes can be provoked by stress, boredom, restrictive dieting, depression, and other triggers.

Other common eating disorders include:

Pica, eating things that are not food, such as paper, ice, or soil
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), disinterest in eating and avoidance of food
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), abnormal eating that does not fall under any disorder

Many people with eating disorders do not consciously develop them, and have difficulty seeking treatment. For this reason, it's important to detect and treat eating disorders as early as possible. Treatment for eating disorders can vary from therapy visits to inpatient treatment, depending on the disorder and its severity. Treatment aims to not only restore physical health and correct negative behaviors, but to also promote psychological well-being and self-confidence.

Sexual Health Issues

Sexual health is a broad and loosely defined term that encompasses several extremely different areas of medicine. Sexual health not only includes physical health related to the act of sex, but also emotional, mental, or identity issues that can interfere with healthy sexuality. Because this scope is so broad, a huge number of health care professionals can accurately say they work in the sexual health specialty. Some of the many varied conditions included in sexual health include intimacy disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, LGBTQ issues, and sexual violence.

Sexual intimacy disorders are those that cause problems with the act of sexual intercourse, such as erectile dysfunction or vulvodynia. Erectile dysfunction, the inability to get or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse, is extremely common. It affects fully half of men over 40 to some degree. It is treated with medications, devices, or surgery. Vulvodynia, burning pain in the vulva that can be made worse with sexal activity, has no known cause. It is treated with oral or topical medications.

Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, are bacterial or viral infections that are contagious in the bodily fluids exchanged during sexual contact. Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, help prevent the spread of STDs. HIV is a virus that can be caught from an infected person's sexual fluids or blood. When the virus infects the body, it interferes with the immune system and causes the disease known as AIDS. There is no cure, but anti-viral medications can help people with AIDS live a long and healthy life. Herpes is also a virus found in sexual fluids, called HSV-2. It causes blisters that come and go on the genitals. There is no cure for herpes, but anti-virals can minimize outbreaks. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both bacterial infections. They are extremely common and often have no symptoms. The most common signs of an infection are burning pain and discharge. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can be treated with medications.

Reproductive health refers to both contraception and infertility treatment. Contraceptives prevent and plan the timing of pregnancy. Some, such as a vasectomy or tubal ligation, are extremely effective at preventing pregnancy. Others, such as spermicides, are less reliable. Popular contraceptives include condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, and diaphragms. On the other side of reproductive health, infertility is the inability to carry a pregnancy to term after one year of trying. It can be due to problems in either the man or the woman, and both genders are affected equally. In total, about 15% of the population suffer from infertility. Infertility treatments include medications and surgery.

Gay and transgender people have a few specific health care needs that may sometimes fall under the sexual health umbrella. First, many LGBT people still face discrimination from healthcare providers, so providing supportive and appropriate care is an issue. Because of social attitudes surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, many gay and transgender people struggle with their identities. Rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide are all higher in this group. Providing mental health support and counseling to those in transition is critical. Finally, transgender patients who are undergoing gender affirmation require sensitive medical health care, including surgical and hormonal treatment.

Sexual violence can be defined as any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity. It ranges from sexual harassment to touching to rape. It affects women more than men and is widespread: 1 in 4 women report being victims of sexual violence at the hands of a partner, and as many as 1 in 3 girls report their first sexual contact as being violent. Sexual violence has lasting physical and emotional consequences for victims, but educating both girls and boys can prevent violence. Care for those who have endured sexual violence includes counseling and mental health support, medical care, and legal support.

Sexuality is more than a reproductive requirement -- it is a form of expression and identity. Sexual health blends all these aspects of experience together and helps people lead sexually fulfilling lives.

Dr gerhard was AMAZING! I went to her for an IUD removal and reinsertion with a pap. Admirably, not a fun appointment in nature. However she did a few things that made it so much better. 1) listened to my concerns about pain and anxiety management for the procedure having went through others and it being rather traumatic. I never felt like my pain or anxiety was dismissed2) she explained everything exceptionally and made me aware of the steps that would happen. Further, she talked me through each step as it happened and frequently checked In. 3) she was very kind when I asked to have my boyfriend come to hold my hand and made sure I had the support I needed. I have had other providers insist it was not going to be that painful and support was not necessary but never felt weird or bad for requesting to have a support person. She even made sure to check in and make sure he was not going to pass out too, haha. I cannot say enough good things about her and my expirience. I will be going to her for other appointments in the future and cannot express how grateful I am for her and how well the procedure went. While it Inevitably was going to hurt, this was as pain free as possible and went so smoothly. A very big thank you to Dr gerhard and her whole team!!

Dr.Amy is absolutely the best doctor I have ever had. She listens, makes me feel valued. She has a game plan and lets me feel part of the choices (oh course she knows best) she understands how to help me maintain a DOT card and pass the DOT Physical by only prescribing medication that won't violate my card and to maintain my card. She is always ontop of this, after I ask she is already considered my DOT and my Job requirements. I honestly feel she is looking out for my best interest at all times. When I need her assistance or advice she is always available in a reasonable amount of time. She can't be perfect except somehow she is with her job. I am truly thankful and feel blessed that I ended up with her years ago. She deserves a raise!!

I am very pleased with my relationship with Dr. Gerhard. She remembers me, is informed, concerned, asks probing questions and knows my health goals. She is not judgmental and easy to talk to about sometimes uncomfortable subjects. And, always has information and suggestions on how to meet my goals. Scheduling is easy, exceeded my expectations on this last appointment by being available much sooner than I thought. I appreciate her immediate follow up on ordering prescriptions and informing me of lab results and if I have a question it is easy to email and get a response. Everything I want and need for my healthcare at this point in my life.

I have been seeing Dr. Gerhard for many, many years. I have seen her mature in her practice. Dr. Gerhard has always been a very compassionate and caring individual. She listens carefully and responds to questions and concerns in understandable language. No matter the burdens and pain I carry into an appointment I always leave encouraged that my life will improve. It is sad this year, however, that due to my insurance a logical resolution to my problem was not forthcoming, no fault of Dr. Gerhard. My wife and I have implicit trust and faith in the treatment we receive from Dr. Amy Gerhard.

I have been struggling with severe medical anxiety and it's essential that we discuss exactly what I can expect during the appointment and things both I and the provider can do to reduce sensory triggers and manage my anxiety. Sometimes I feel that nurses and assistants don't give appropriate attention to these conversations, but Dr. Gerhard has always made space for those conversations and been detailed and consistent in addressing my anxiety. At this visit the nurse seemed informed on my requests and I felt safe and heard the whole time.

Dr. Gerhard and her staff are very professional and also very friendly & personable. That has always made it easier for me to trust her and be able to honestly talk to her about my concerns. I have seen Dr. Gerhard for many years and have always been very pleased with her sweet bedside manner and her incredible knowledge of medicine. She has helped me through very difficult times, physically as well as mentally. She has been all that a provider is expected to be and much, much more.

Dr is always cheerful and upbeat, and never seems rushed. My experiences have always been positive. Dr is excellent in explaining the details in medical as wall as layman terms as needed. Dr listens to my concerns and addresses/helps resolve each and any one. Dr has the ability to read me and likely all patients. Dr was quick to acknowledge and help me with a plan to exit a med I no longer needed. I really appreciate Dr's approach and style.

Dr. Amy Gerhard is great, she listens to you well and has encouraging feedback too. I appreciate she could get me in quickly, the next day, for a suspected infection and didn't get upset when it wasn't one (it was Instead related to another medical condition). I feel like I can talk to her about my health and be open about it which is very helpful since I've had a medical condition for the past 19 years that often gets stigmatized.

I have been seeing Dr Gearhart for many years, she always listens and is respectful and kind. I always feel heard and I feel like my wants and wishes are taken into consideration for treatment options. I made this appt on my chart because calling the office so far the last 3 months had been very difficult. Long long wait times to speak to someone. I have no complaints only compliments for Dr Gearhart and her staff.

I've been going to Dr. Gerhard for about 10 years. I've always felt during that time that she listens to me, gives practical advice, and is shares any concerns about my health. She provides good comprehensive notes from our visiits (showing that she listened to me), which she will usually post within a day. She (or her office) always responds promptly to non-urgent medical questions posed through MyChart.
