Today I will start a new season of This Is Your Brain On Drugs Psychiatry Podcast. I mentioned the dual season of ADHD with Obesity Medicine and Lifestyle Psychiatry on the previous episode. Last week I started with ADHD and today I will start the series on Obesity Medicine. I'll do an introduction where I talk about measuring obesity, rates of obesity, trends over time, and etiologies of obesity. I think you will find the discussion on etiology to be especially interesting. I decided to include my lectures on lifestyle and nutritional psychiatry into this series as well as these treatments can treat obesity but also are very useful in treating depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions. So, there will be a lot on those topics before I start talking about the medications to treat obesity. I'm really excited to do this season. It's the one that I've been waiting to do for a year, so I hope you enjoy!
