Binge-eating and night-eating on a problem list
SGAs and some antidepressants cause weight gain. We name that and discuss switches or metformin/GLP-1 only when appropriate.
Wellness & Weight Management for Deerfield Beach patients
Stress eating and emotional eating still get a differential (binge-eating disorder vs situational).
IV weight support is not an indication we treat with drips.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Walk-in?
No.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.

36-minute path to the Hollywood office
Deerfield Beach (Broward County) has about 86,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 36 minutes from Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier and downtown Deerfield.
Deerfield Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Insulin resistance never measured.
Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Wellness & Weight Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Wellness & Weight Management can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.
