PSYCHIATRIC SUPPORT
An important part of an effective eating disorder team is psychiatric support. While our initial approach is always therapy, in many cases medication can help assist with the ability to participate and benefit from therapy.
Most of the time eating disorders co-occur with anxiety and depression. We may suggest beginning medication to help with the anxiety and depression. Our psychiatric care staff do a careful evaluation and are always in contact with the rest of the eating disorder team to make sure you receive the best medications for you.
