As an addiction psychiatrist, you are likely well versed in treating addictions of many types. Tell the interviewer how you conduct your formal assessment, refer to a multidisciplinary team and treat the patient with food addiction. Tell the interviewer how you decide whether to treat your patients with medication or 12-step programs. Discuss the outcome of a specific case, if you can.

"I have treated patients with food addictions. My greatest challenge was helping addicts who are still active in their addiction because of their often excessive lying. After having the patient face their fears and address the lying we were able to move on to treatment."
