Weight Loss Support
Compassionate care for patients experiencing excessive or concerning weight loss connected to mental health, stress, eating patterns, or substance use.
At Interpersonal Psychiatry, we help patients better understand the emotional, behavioral, and medical factors that can contribute to unhealthy weight loss and create a care plan that supports overall wellness.
When Weight Loss May Signal a Larger Concern
Weight loss can happen for many reasons, but sudden or excessive weight loss may point to deeper physical, emotional, or psychiatric issues that deserve attention.
When weight changes are connected to stress, anxiety, depression, eating-related struggles, or substance use, treatment often needs to address both mental and physical health together.
Common Signs Associated With Excessive Weight Loss
- Muscle loss or noticeable weakness
- Fatigue, dizziness, or irritability
- Headaches or trouble sleeping

Possible Related Factors
