EATING DISORDERS AND THEIR TREATMENT

Eating disorders are real diseases that can have severe physical and emotional consequences. Eating disorders left unaddressed can be deadly, and the sooner you start treating them, the better chances of a full recovery are. Some of the complications of a low body weight include; Dehydration, anemia, low levels of potassium and magnesium (which can lead to heart problems), hypotension, arrhythmia, kidney failure, liver disease, osteoporosis and many more. For this reason, it is imperative that men or women dealing with eating disorders seek professional help, especially with more clinically severe eating disorders.

The biggest and most important thing that you can do for a loved one that is suffering an eating disorder is to help them get their body weight restored – even if they protest it! A key step in starting recovery is to find a qualified eating disorder professional, someone who specializes in eating disorders and who will help in coordinating and overseeing care and treatment. Dr. Marshall Hubsher, a psychiatrist practicing in Roslyn, NY, specializes in treating conditions such as eating disorders. The severity of the eating disorder usually determines the initial treatment level Dr. Hubsher chooses, though he often opts for a combination of treatments as part of the recovery process. There are a variety of different types of treatment for eating disorders that have proved to be effective in his practice. In most cases, these are not stand-alone treatments and many patients are prescribed medications.

If someone thinks they may have an eating disorder, a good place to start is to ask what percentage of the day they spend thinking about food, weight and body image. If the answer reveals that so much time is spent thinking about these factors that they detract from happiness and everyday functions, there could be an issue. Confronting the eating disorder is the first step in eating disorder recovery. If you are suffering from an eating disorder, it is important to admit that you need help. Though this can be the most painful and difficult part of the process, it is essential in order for recovery to begin.

Most people with an eating disorder need treatment from a team of health professionals including a general practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist and dietitian. As a psychiatrist, Hubsher can work with you to find out about your symptoms, understand your eating disorder and work out if you have other mental health conditions such as depression.

If you have a loved one who is suffering from an eating disorder and are worried about their eating behaviors or attitudes, it is crucial to communicate your concerns in a loving and supportive way. Confronting the person you care about is a necessary step towards getting them the help and treatment they deserve. This should occur in a private and comfortable setting and be expressed in a non-confrontational tone.

Time is of the essence in order to prevent or minimize the physical and psychological consequences of eating disorders. The sooner Dr. Marshall Hubsher can provide you or a loved one with the care you need and deserve, the sooner you will be moving along the necessary path to a full and rewarding recovery. With specialized treatment, it is possible to recover from an eating disorder. In fact, up to 80 percent of patients who seek or complete treatment at Dr. Marshall Hubsher's practice have recovered or improved significantly.

How Psychotherapy Works

Psychotherapy is a general term used to describe the process of treating psychological disorders and mental distress by the use of verbal and psychological techniques. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in any given year, more than a quarter of American adults experience depression, anxiety or another mental disorder. These problems can often become exhausting. A psychologist can help you work through such problems. As an experienced psychiatrist and educator, Dr Marshall Hubsher is often asked to explain the benefits of psychotherapy. In this article, Dr Marshall Hubsher will cover what psychotherapy is and how it can benefit people with various disorders.
So, what is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment in which a trained psychotherapist helps the patient tackle specific or general problems such as a particular mental illness or a source of life stress. Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows patients to talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral and nonjudgmental. Psychotherapy is often called a “talking treatment” because it uses talking, rather than medication. Psychotherapy can provide help with a range of problems, from depression and low self-esteem to addiction and family disputes. Anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by their problems and unable to cope may be able to benefit from psychotherapy.

Depending on the approach used by the therapist, a wide range of techniques and strategies can be used. However, almost all types of psychotherapy involve developing a therapeutic relationship, communicating and creating a dialogue, and working to overcome problematic thoughts or behaviors. There are a variety of techniques and practices used in psychotherapy. During his 38 years of experience in treating mental illnesses, Dr Marshall Hubsher has used a number of different formats, mostly depending on the needs of the patient. The exact method used in each situation can vary based upon a variety of factors, including the nature of the client’s current problem. Modern psychotherapeutic methods for directly treating patients include emotional support, problem exploration, interpretation, feedback, and psychosocial-skills training. All in all, through psychotherapy, Dr Marshall Hubsher has helped people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.

Marshall Hubsher: Psychiatric Disorders

The Roslyn, NY based psychologist, Marshall Hubsher is hosting an online webinar about Psychiatric Disorders.
About this Event
On this online webinar, the experienced psychologist, Marshall Hubsher will explain everything one has to know about psychiatric disorders.

He points out the symptoms and explains how a psychiatric disorder can be diagnosed. According to his psychiatrist, a psychiatric disorder is a mental illness, which is diagnosed by a mental health professional. This type of mental illness greatly disturbs your thinking, moods, and/or behavior and seriously increases your risk of disability, pain, death, or loss of freedom.

Additionally, Hubsher will present the different types of psychiatric disorders such as: Depression, Personality Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Schizophrenia, Eating Disorders, Addictive Behaviors and much more.

Moreover, Hubsher will speak about when a mental health concern becomes a psychiatric disorder.

Most of the people probably have had a temporary mental health concern, such as depression due to the loss of a job. However, according to Hubsher, these concerns last for a short period of time.

Unlike temporary mental health concern symptoms, the symptoms of a true psychiatric disorder are ongoing and frequently also interfering with your ability to do day-to-day tasks.

Furthermore, the psychologist Marshall Hubsher will present the different types of treatments, which typically involve a combination of medications and psychotherapy (also called talk therapy).

Dr. Marshall Hubsher on Mental Illness Treatments

Mental illness is more common than most people expect. Everyone can suffer from mental illness at any time point in his life. It is calculated that 25% of all people suffer from one or more mental or behavioral disorders in their lifetime.
Mental and neurological disorders account for 14% of the global burden of disease in the world. Furthermore, each year, around 1 million people die from suicide in the world, of which some 63,000 are in the Americas. According to Roslyn-based psychiatrist Dr. Marshall Hubsher, the number of individuals experiencing mental illness around the world continues to grow.
Characterized by what people experience in their mind, but sometimes involving physical symptoms, and their emotional well-being, the cause of many mental health disorders is yet to be discovered.

Dr. Hubsher’s view on Depression
Depression affects more people than any other mental disorder and is also one of the world’s leading causes of disability. Impacting an estimated 300 million people, depression generally affects women more often than men, shares Dr. Marshall Hubsher.
It is often characterized by loss of interest or pleasure, general sadness, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, difficulty falling asleep, eating pattern changes, exhaustion and a lack of concentration. Depression doesn’t just arise as a result of “too much” or “too few” brain chemicals, specifically serotonin, as it is often depicted. Rather, several forces such as genetics, life events, medical problems and medications can bring the illness on.
Mental illnesses can be mild, moderate, or severe, and is caused by a complex interaction of social, psychological, and biological factors. Mild and even some moderate cases can be resolved, basically, with social and family support, brief psychotherapy, or other types of psychosocial interventions. Such interventions can be provided by primary health care physicians or by community organizations that provide support for people, explains Dr. Hubsher from his psychiatrist practice in New York.
Seeking help from a psychiatrist
Talking treatments or psychotherapy provide a regular time and space for you to talk about your thoughts and experiences and explore difficult feelings with a trained professional. Psychotherapy explores thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and seeks to improve an individual’s well-being. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a relatively short-term treatment that aims to identify connections between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and to help you develop practical skills to manage any negative patterns that may be causing you difficulties. Evidence suggests that CBT can be an effective treatment for a range of mental health problems.
Many people diagnosed with mental illness achieve strength and recovery through participating in individual or group treatment. There are many different treatment options available. There is no treatment that works for everyone — individuals can choose the treatment, or combination of treatments, that works best.

Dr. Marshall Hubsher on Mood Disorders and their Treatment

Anyone can feel sad or depressed at times. Normal fluctuations in mood usually come and go. When your mood starts to have an impact on your daily activities and in your social, educational, and professional relationships, you may be suffering from a mood disorder. Mood disorders are more intense and harder to manage than normal feelings of sadness. They are characterized by a serious change in mood that cause disruption to life activities. Though many different subtypes are recognized, Dr Marshall Hubsher, a psychiatrist from New York, with almost 40 years of experience explains that the most common types of mood disorders are major depression, dysthymia (dysthymic disorder), bipolar disorder, mood disorder due to a general medical condition, and substance-induced mood disorder.

What causes mood disorders?

Unfortunately, Dr. Marshall Hubsher, nor any other medical professional can give you an exact answer to this question. However, most doctors and researchers believe that many factors, including both biological and environmental contribute to mood disorders. If your family history includes individuals who have been diagnosed with mood disorders, your likelihood of experiencing them, while still low overall, is increased. Traumatic life events may also contribute to a depressed mood. In some cases, medications and substance abuse can be the cause behind your disorder. Mood disorders can negatively impact your work life and school life and intrude on your personal relationships.

How are mood disorders diagnosed?

Mood disorders are diagnosed through both physical examinations and mental health evaluations. Once any underlying medical conditions that are causing an effect on your mood are ruled out, a mental health provider may perform a series of assessments to determine your mood stability and mental health.
