### Patient: Doctor, I believe I have been suffering from an eating disorder for a while now. I feel like my relationship with food has become extremely unhealthy, and it's affecting my mental health as well. I often find myself obsessing over my weight and food intake, and I don't know how to stop.
### Doctor: It sounds like you may benefit from several medical tests to assess your condition. As a first step, psychotherapy and mental health counseling could help you work through any underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to your eating disorder. Additionally, a depression screen could help determine if any mood disorders need to be addressed. A psychological and psychiatric evaluation and therapy could provide a more comprehensive understanding of your mental health status. Lastly, an occupational therapy assessment (speech therapy) could help determine if any additional interventions, such as speech therapy, could benefit you.
