It is worth seeing a psychodietitian when eating becomes a way of coping with emotions, when successive diets end in a return to old habits, or when it is difficult to put the principles of healthy eating into practice. A specialist helps you understand the causes of these difficulties and gradually change your habits without restrictive diets or constant monitoring of your food intake. The course and duration of treatment depend on your individual needs, and before choosing a psychodietitian, it is worth checking their qualifications and experience. If an eating disorder is suspected, a specialist assessment is required, as psychodietetic support is no substitute for appropriate medical treatment.
