Q&A with an ED PsychiatristThere’s often confusion about the role psychiatry plays in ED treatment, whether that’s around medication, how decisions are made, or just what ‘medical monitoring’ actually means. So, this week, we sit down with Dr Teizeem Dhanji, Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist and Eating Disorders Specialist at Sage Clinics, to answer some of the most common questions from our community. We deep-dive into a psychiatrist’s work within a multidisciplinary team; how medication can support recovery when used appropriately; the rise and impact of weight-loss drugs — and why appearing well “on paper” doesn’t mean your brain is ED-free.Dr Teizeem shares what she’s learnt from years in the field, providing fantastic insights and helping to demystify psychiatric care in recovery.Topics covered: * The role of a psychiatrist in eating disorder treatment • What drew Dr Teizeem to this area • The impact of medications such as Ozempic on the ED population • Supporting neurodiverse clients with eating disorders • How decisions around prescribing medication are made • Common medications used in ED care • Fears and side effects associated with medication • Why blood tests can look “fine” while the brain is still strugglingConnect with us:Meg  Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recoverySafia  Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.safiaed.comSage Clinics & Dr Teizeem  Instagram: @sage_clinicsWebsite: https://sage-clinics.com/team/dr-teizeem-dhanji/Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schoneTallulah Self (podcast editor)  Instagram: @tallulahself[DISCLAIMER] Please keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.
