Eating and body image disorder services are for individuals experiencing persistent concerns involving eating behaviors, body image, appearance, or related emotional and behavioral patterns. People may seek support when eating-related behaviors or distress about appearance begin affecting nutrition, relationships, daily routines, or overall functioning. For individuals in New Mexico, telehealth may provide access to psychiatric support for these concerns when appropriate.
How It Works
Support addresses the specific eating or body-image concerns affecting the individual:
Body Dysmorphia (Image) Disorder & Metabolic Management
Evaluation of distress related to perceived appearance or body-image concerns
Support with emotional and behavioral patterns associated with body-image distress
Medication management and metabolic considerations when clinically appropriate
Eating Disorders and Management
Evaluation of eating patterns, behaviors, and related emotional concerns
Support with identifying thoughts, behaviors, and situations associated with disordered eating
Psychiatric treatment and medication management when clinically appropriate
What to Expect
The service begins with a discussion of eating patterns, body-image concerns, related symptoms, and their effect on everyday functioning. Treatment recommendations depend on the individual’s clinical presentation and may include psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management, or both. Follow-up care provides an opportunity to review symptoms and treatment response and adjust the approach when clinically appropriate.
