Treating Eating Disorders with Compassion and Science with Carine El Khazen Hadati

In this compelling episode, we sit down with Dr. Carine El Khazen Hadati, clinical psychologist and director of the Eating and Weight Disorder Program at the American Center for Psychiatry and Neurology. A leading expert in the Middle East, Dr. El Khazen shares her insights on the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of eating disorders across the region. We explore how she applies enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E) to treat complex cases with empathy and scientific precision. The conversation also dives into the cultural and social taboos that impact care, and how stigma around mental health and body image is slowly being challenged. This is a powerful discussion for anyone interested in mental health, cultural change, and compassionate care. #EatingDisorders #MentalHealthAwareness #CBT #CBTE #BodyImage #MiddleEastMentalHealth #CompassionateCare #PsychologyPodcast #DisorderedEating #MentalHealthMatters #EDRecovery #BreakingTheStigma #EatingDisorderTreatment #HealthAndWellness #TherapyTalk #WomenInPsychology #MindBodyConnection This podcast is available on all podcast apps and on YouTube
