How do clinicians handle ADHD when there's eating disorder history?

This requires careful, collaborative planning. Stimulants can suppress appetite, so we weigh risks and benefits thoughtfully. Sometimes we choose non stimulant options first. If stimulants are used, we monitor weight, eating patterns, and mental health closely. Structured meal planning and regular follow up are key. The goal is never to compromise recovery. Treatment should support focus without destabilizing nutrition or body image. Open communication makes this manageable.
