Psychotropic weight gain: a medical problem
Hollywood food environment (shift work, late restaurants, hurricane stockpiling) is history, not moral failure.
Clinical scope of Wellness & Weight Management in Broward County
Body confidence program language in old URLs still leads to a medical visit.
IV weight support is not an indication we treat with drips.
What we rule in — and rule out
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
PMDD-related intake changes.
Binge-eating or night-eating.
Depression/anxiety driving intake or inactivity.
From intake to follow-up: Wellness & Weight Management
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Diagnose psychiatric conditions that drive intake.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
What we do not do
IV lounges are not metabolic clinics.
Endocrinology owns some hormone obesity; we own the psychiatric overlap.
Bariatric programs are partners, not competitors, when BMI and comorbidity say so.
Hollywood FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Walk-in?
No.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Informed consent for off-label metabolic uses.
Sleep screen.
Avoid dual major med changes plus a crash diet.
No IV for weight loss.
Stressors we document in Hollywood
Steroid bursts for other illnesses were ignored.
Prior 'wellness coach' had no license.
You fear GLP-1 because of online panic, or you want it as a personality fix.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
