Depressive disorders and eating disorders frequently co-occur, but why does this happen, and how do you treat both at the same time? In this episode, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner Holly Willis, MSN, PMHNP-BC, breaks down the complex, bi-directional relationship between the two. She clarifies the difference between feeling low and having clinical depression, explores various depressive disorders, and shares the unique challenges depression can create in both treatment and recovery. You’ll also hear about some of her favorite skills and tools, while gaining insight, compassion, and a sense of what it’s like to work with her. Most importantly, Holly reminds us that healing is possible, even when depression and eating disorders try to convince us it’s not.
