HI Kim, hi Dina---

Most psychiatrists do not conduct "therapy", focusing instead on prescribing medication (most psychiatrists aren't even trained in therapy).

With that thought in my noggin, I have to wonder why a psychologist would want to preface any mental status exam/report etc. with a physical description that goes into such details that are irrelevant to psychotherapy?

Unless the therapist is working w/ a patient with an eating disorder, I can't see the relevance...
