Hello Mark.
You are absolutely correct in feeling you need to be under close medical supervision. Hormones are powerful medicine, and your body and mind will be going through some big changes.
It is also very helpful to receive psychosocial/behavioral therapy and support on an ongoing basis. Group therapy or a support group should be considered as well.
Best of Luck.
