David M. Hurn-Erceg is a psychiatrist based at 223 James Street, Northbridge, WA 6003. He works with people who are dealing with mental health challenges, and he also looks after those affected by eating-related difficulties and anxiety.
In his practice, the focus includes anorexia and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). For many people, anxiety can feel like it’s “always on”, with worry that’s hard to switch off. Anorexia can also bring a mix of fear around food, strong control, and a lot of distress for the person and their family.
Day to day, this kind of care often means taking time to understand what’s going on for each person. It can also involve helping people make sense of the way their symptoms show up, how they affect sleep, work, study, relationships, and day-to-day routines. In many cases, small changes and steady support matter more than quick fixes.
When anxiety is the main issue, sessions may cover ways to handle constant worry and the physical side of anxiety, like tension and restlessness. With anorexia, the work is usually about supporting eating patterns, improving coping skills, and reducing the stress that comes with trying to eat or manage body-related thoughts.
People come in at different stages. Some are ready to start treatment right away. Others feel unsure, especially if they’ve had symptoms for a while. Over time, having a clear plan and regular check-ins can help people feel more grounded and less stuck.
