10/18/23 • 30 min
What if the road to understanding mental health was not as straightforward as it seems? I sat down with the highly insightful Dr. Chukwuemeka Nwuba, who shared his unique journey into the field of eating disorders.
An accidental placement morphed into a lifelong passion, propelling him into psychiatry training and, eventually, authorship. With a deep understanding of co-morbidity in mental health, he unravels the complexity of eating disorders in an approachable manner.
We also delve into Dr. Chukwuemeka’s book, ‘Eating Disorders Don’t Discriminate’. The book is a profound compilation of experiences from many well-known personalities battling the five main types of eating disorders.
