Why You Might Want A Female Doctor If You’re A Woman
They might recognize disordered eating quicker
Women tend to be more in tune with weight concerns and, more specifically, disordered eating. I have, in fact, had several male doctors completely miss the fact that I once had an eating disorder. I don’t have one now but, it took a female doctor to notice some of my habits and behaviors may be linked to an emotional issue, and advise me to see a therapist.
