Dr Caroline Thew

Dr Thew is the endocrinologist at the Women's Mental Health Clinic (WMHC) with over 20 years experience working as a clinical endocrinologist, in private practice, and attached to Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Her PhD research topic was Studies of Insulin Resistance in Human Adiopocytes and she maintains a particular interest in Type II diabetes and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

She has developed a weight loss and exercise program with the motivational psychologist at the WMHC, Cindy Yu. This is particularly helpful for patients who may have experienced weight gain as a side effect of their psychiatric medication.

Dr Thew has experience in perimenopausal hormone management and this is an expanding area of clinical and research interest. She has also been involved in the development of the online short course in Women's Mental Health.
