Eating disorders are serious psychiatric conditions, not lifestyle choices or matters of willpower, and they don't look the same from one person to the next. The three most common are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, and while they involve different patterns, all three benefit from evaluation that looks at the psychiatric picture alongside physical health.
Anorexia nervosa involves significant restriction of food intake driven by an intense fear of weight gain and a distorted sense of one's own body, often alongside a persistent difficulty recognizing the seriousness of low body weight. It carries real medical risk and typically requires coordination between psychiatric care and medical monitoring. Full details are on the Anorexia Nervosa page.
Bulimia nervosa involves recurring episodes of eating a large amount of food with a sense of loss of control, followed by compensatory behaviors intended to prevent weight gain. Because weight often stays in a typical range, bulimia is frequently missed for longer than anorexia, which can make it feel invisible even to the person experiencing it. Full details are on the Bulimia Nervosa page.
Binge eating disorder involves recurring episodes of eating a large amount of food with a sense of loss of control, without the compensatory behaviors seen in bulimia. It's the most common eating disorder overall, and it's frequently under-recognized because it doesn't fit the narrower image many people associate with "an eating disorder." Full details are on the Binge Eating Disorder page.
Medication can play a real role for all three conditions, particularly where anxiety, depression, or OCD-type thinking patterns are driving or intensifying the eating disorder, and is typically managed alongside therapy and, where relevant, medical monitoring of physical health. For anorexia and bulimia specifically, coordinating with a primary care provider on physical health is a standard part of care, not an optional add-on. If an eating disorder is medically unstable or isn't responding to outpatient treatment, a higher level of care, such as a specialized eating disorder program, may be the right next step, and part of this practice's role is recognizing that and helping coordinate the referral rather than continuing outpatient care past the point it's appropriate.

Founder · Physician Assistant–Certified
Most psychiatric prescribing is trial-and-error. My background in
molecular biology — MSc from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with
research at the Weizmann Institute and Mt Sinai — lets me think about
your case at the level of biological pathways, not just symptom
checklists. That means fewer wasted medication trials and a clearer
rationale for every decision.
Adults, adolescents, and children with anxiety, depression, ADHD,
bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, and complex or treatment-
resistant cases. I work especially well with patients who've been let
down by rushed 15-minute medication checks elsewhere.
A 60-minute initial evaluation — in person at my Fort Lee office or via
telehealth anywhere in NJ or NY. We'll go through your full history,
current symptoms, prior treatments, and biological context. You leave
with a clear diagnosis and a specific medication plan, not a maybe.

One of the most nicest, kindest and considerate doctors I met. He went over with me thoroughly on the documents and was generous enough to explain me everything that I asked. I think he is a real doctor of people and not just someone that's write prescriptions.
Michael is an amazing professional! He truly invests in his patients and provides care and feedback even during off hours. Although we have only been using his services for a short time, he already stands out as caring, knowledgeable, and confident in his approach. We plan to continue using his services and would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
Dr Michael Feldman is an amazing doctor. He prescribed the proper medication in the right dosage for me. He did this because he listens and asks very good questions. I highly recommend him
Michael Feldman is a wonderful and caring P.A. He always gives 100%. He listens attentively and provides many insights I would never thought of by myself. I find having him in my corner invaluable and I could not recommend him more highly. He's the best!
Michael Feldman is an excellent doctor! Very knowledgeable, attentive to patient's needs, caring, great bedside manners! Highly recommend!
I met Michael Feldman after years of search and trial and error. If you look for a professional who is invested in his patient's progress, research-oriented, with a deep understanding of the body-mind connection and a wholistic approach to treatment, look no further.
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Feldman and truly feel fortunate to have found such a compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatrist for my teenager son. From the very first appointment, they took the time to listen without judgment and made me feel genuinely understood. Their explanations were clear, thoughtful, and grounded in evidence, which helped me feel confident in my treatment plan. The office staff is also friendly and efficient, making scheduling and follow‑ups easy. I highly recommend Dr. Feldman to anyone seeking a psychiatrist, especially for children.
My dad was recommended to see Dr. Feldman through his psychologist. He got him on track with medication and I finally feel like he’s himself again. Speaks Hebrew fluently as well which was a plus. Would recommend to anyone looking for an attentive and kind professional. Thank you!!
I was looking for support in working through my trauma. From the very first moment, I felt a comfortable atmosphere, even though the meetings were held via Zoom. It was clear that Mikhail was truly listening and delving into the problem. After each session, I felt empowered and calm. I definitely recommend Mikhail Feldman as an excellent specialist.
Great medication management! I was worried about the correct path to take to improve my mental health, and Michael really helped to properly explain my options and recommending the right medication. Highly recommend!
Dr. Feldman is very professional, intelligent, and highly knowledgeable. Appointments always run on time. After we switched to him, he immediately recognized that the previous diagnosis was incorrect. We’re very confident in his care and look forward to continuing with him.

Things patients usually want to know before reaching out.
Anorexia involves restriction driven by fear of weight gain and a distorted body image. Bulimia involves episodes of loss-of-control eating followed by behaviors meant to prevent weight gain. Binge eating disorder involves the same loss-of-control eating episodes as bulimia, without those compensatory behaviors. An evaluation looks at the full pattern rather than any single symptom to determine which fits.
Yes, and this is one of the most common misconceptions about eating disorders. Weight alone doesn’t indicate whether someone has an eating disorder or how severe it is. Both bulimia and binge eating disorder commonly occur across a range of body sizes, which is part of why these conditions are frequently missed or dismissed for longer than anorexia.
Medication doesn’t treat disordered eating behavior directly, but it can meaningfully help when anxiety, depression, or obsessive thinking patterns are fueling the eating disorder, which is common. Therapy typically addresses the behavioral and cognitive patterns directly. Most effective treatment combines both rather than relying on either alone.
This practice provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management, and works collaboratively with a patient’s therapist, dietitian, and primary care provider as part of care. For anorexia and bulimia in particular, medical monitoring from a primary care provider is a standard part of the treatment team, not something handled separately or skipped.
When there’s significant medical instability, or when the eating disorder isn’t improving with outpatient treatment over a reasonable period. In either case, that’s something to identify and act on directly rather than continue outpatient visits past the point they’re the right level of care. If that’s the case, coordinating a referral to a specialized eating disorder program is part of the process, not a sign that outpatient care failed.
Very commonly, yes. Anxiety, depression, and OCD-type thinking frequently co-occur with eating disorders, and in many cases they influence each other directly, for example, restrictive eating patterns can worsen anxiety, and untreated anxiety can worsen disordered eating. Evaluating and treating the full picture together tends to work better than treating the eating disorder in isolation.
