In a special piece for Healio, Philip S. Mehler, MD, FACP, FAED, CEDS, discusses how healthcare professionals can suffer from “severe eating disorders.” What’s more, “COVID-19 and its attendant stressors appear to be exacerbating these issues in some” clinicians, “who have either recovered from an eating disorder or are living with one now,” Dr. Mehler writes. In his career, Dr. Mehler has “cared for more than 100 [healthcare professionals] with severe eating disorders.”
