To provide greater insight into their multidisciplinary approach, Dr Megan Ogilvie, Endocrinologist, and Dr Roger Mysliwiec, Psychiatrist and Eating Disorders Specialist, have come together for a discussion on patient management and collaborative care.
Drawing on their respective areas of expertise, they explore the complexities of assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing support for individuals with anxiety around food and food choices. Their conversation highlights the importance of shared decision-making, clear communication, and a coordinated approach to care.
This discussion has been developed to give clinicians, patients, and families a better understanding of how an endocrinologist and psychiatrist work together to address both the physical and psychological aspects of eating disorders, with the shared goal of improving health outcomes and supporting long-term recovery.
