With Maria Rago, Board President of ANAD
July 24, 2024, 07:00 PM
Description: Eating Disorders are both common and dangerous. What percentage of your time do you spend thinking about food, weight and body image issues in your life? This continuum has normal eating on the one side, and Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and ED NOS on the other. EDs often coexist with other mental health disorders such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorder and substance abuse disorders. In addition, ARFID is a more recently noted eating disorder, in which body image issues are often not present, but rigidity of eating and sensitivity to food texture are seen. Questions and discussion are welcome in the last 30 minutes!
Objectives:
- Learn what are the common eating disorders and how common they are.
- Understand the interaction between EDs and other coexisting mental health disorders.
- Understand the treatment of eating disorders and how recovery can be successful for many people!
