Psychotropic weight gain: a medical problem
Leftover coaching/affordable slugs are not our clinical method.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Nutrition psych weight is the overlap of intake patterns and DSM-5-TR diagnoses.
Top-rated language ignored.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Suicide screen — eating disorders carry risk.
Sleep screen.
GLP-1: contraindication check, follow-up GI/mood.
Document why a requested product was refused.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Pembroke Pines include Chapel Trail, Pembroke Falls, Century Village, and the Pines Boulevard spine. ZIP codes 33023, 33024, 33025, 33026 map to this service-area page.
Pembroke Pines 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.
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
DSM-5-TR framing for sustainable wellness plan
Postpartum weight plus depression.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
Not indicated to treat anorexia with a GLP-1.
Depression/anxiety driving intake or inactivity.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Involve family only with consent.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.

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.
