it is an annoying thing - psych drs do not want anything to do with physical symptoms while medical drs don't want anything to do with psych patients even with physical probs.
your physician knows the type of things she feels comfortable and experienced in dealing with, and obviously she does not have experience in dealing with eating disorders- both mental and physical aspects. although she maybe hasn't communicated this very well. a good psychiatrist should be aware of the physical sequelae of eating disorders. has she pointed to any drs who can help? psychiatrists are drs so they should be able to monitor and treat basic physical probs.
