You’re used to being the one who has it all under control, but lately, the 'strong' version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel so detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the constant cycle of ADHD-related meltdowns, I want you to know: it doesn't have to stay this way.

FAQ - Weight Loss Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with weight loss?
While weight loss is often seen as primarily a physical change, its mental and emotional components can be equally important. A person's beliefs, attitudes, and expectations about weight loss can significantly impact their ability to lose weight. In some cases, underlying mental health conditions—such as depression, anxiety, or trauma—may contribute to weight gain or interfere with effective weight loss efforts. Psychiatrists with expertise in weight management understand the complex interaction between physical and psychological factors and can be valuable members of a multidisciplinary treatment team to help support a client's weigh loss goals.

What does psychiatric treatment for weight loss involve?
Psychiatrists who treat individuals seeking weight loss typically begin sessions with an assessment to understand the client's current lifestyle, eating habits, mental health history, and any underlying medical issues. This evaluation helps identify both physical and psychological contributors to weight-related challenges. Based on these findings, the psychiatrist will develop a treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications, medication to address any co-occurring mental health conditions—such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers—and ongoing psychotherapeutic support.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in weight management?
Not all psychiatrists specialize in weight loss, so selecting a provider with relevant experience is important. Psychology Today's online directory offers helpful search tools to locate psychiatrists who focus on weight management. Users can filter results based on specialty, insurance accepted, location, and other preferences. When evaluating a potential provider, consider asking about their experience with weight loss treatment, their use of behavioral therapy and/or medication, and whether they coordinate care with other healthcare professionals, such as primary care physicians, dietitians, or fitness experts. Practical considerations—such as appointment availability and insurance coverage—are also essential when choosing the right provider.
