Medical treatment for an eating disorder with Board Certified Concierge adult & Geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Willy Philias of West Palm Beach.

Eating Disorders in Adults & Seniors

Eating disorders can affect individuals at any age and may continue for decades, recur later in life, or develop for the first time in adulthood. Symptoms can be difficult to recognize, particularly when long-standing behaviors have become part of everyday life.

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation can help identify anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders and determine an individualized approach to treatment.

Eating disorders are often connected to stress, grief, anxiety, depression, major life changes, or a need for control—not simply food or appearance.

Signs may include:

Significant weight changes
Unusual eating behaviors
Eating alone or avoiding meals
Increased sensitivity to cold
Hair loss
Anxiety or depression

Movement, Routine, and Mental Health Support for Seniors with Early Dementia

Even subtle cognitive decline can increase the risk of falls. Slower reaction times, impaired judgment, and difficulty multitasking can affect walking, stair navigation, and bathroom transfers. In-home movement and safety support in Palm Beach County focuses on real-life safety inside the home — identifying fall hazards, strengthening lower extremities, improving balance, and reinforcing safe movement patterns.

Postpartum Depression: When Emotional Overwhelm Becomes a Medical Emergency

Postpartum depression is not a reflection of maternal failure—it is a medical condition triggered by profound physiological, hormonal, emotional, and structural changes. When reality becomes painful, heavy, or unbearable, the correct response is clinical support, not silence.

Expert Psychiatric Care for Aging Adults

Psychiatric care is not one-size-fits-all—especially for seniors. Dr. Philias maintains ongoing relationships with his patients, monitoring for changes in behavior, cognition, or physical health that may require updates to their treatment.
