Psychiatric Support for Disordered Eating and Body Image Concerns

Struggles with eating and body image can affect people across all ages and genders—not just those with classic eating disorders. Whether you’re dealing with emotional eating, body dissatisfaction, restrictive behaviors, or a full diagnosis like anorexia or bulimia, compassionate psychiatric care is available.

At Psychiatry for Health, we provide nonjudgmental, evidence-based support.

Common Concerns We Address

  • Chronic dieting or food preoccupation
  • Binge eating, purging, or restrictive patterns
  • Body dysmorphia or distorted self-image
  • Low self-esteem tied to weight or appearance
  • Co-occurring depression, anxiety, or trauma

Our Approach to Treatment

  • Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand emotional and biological factors
  • Medication when helpful for anxiety, obsessive thoughts, or mood symptoms
  • Focus on building a healthier relationship with food and self-image
  • Support for long-term change through structured, compassionate care

If food or body image concerns dominate your thoughts, you’re not alone. We’re here to help.
