“Can a psychiatrist treat obesity?”

Thank you for reaching out. Yes, a psychiatrist should be able to treat obesity since this is very common alongside with mental health illness, as anxiety, depression, low self esteem and eating disorders. Moreover psychotropic medications could lead to obesity as well, so is important that obesity may be managed at the same time with any other mental condition.
