Hi Susan,
definitely find a new GP for your annual exams and for holding all threads together. Once you find one the rewards are immense. Specifically ask them for referrals to the specialists on menopausal health issues (gynecologist, endocrinologist, dietitian, psychologist, etc.)
The NPD sounds fishy as you described him. psychiatry doesn't seem to be his area of expertise, yet he has some bold opinions there. I would avoid a specialist of this sort. The less they know the more definitive they sound. I read and heard of some who work wonders but I do not know a single person who was cured or helped personally, and when I see them on tv against 'traditional' doctors they usually sound very pale and unconvincing. I guess, they do not enjoy as much funding as the traditional medicine does, so their claims are much more questionable from the scientific point of view.
best wishes
mila
