An Eating Disorder By Any Other Name: How EDNOS, OSFED, and other Eating Syndromes Can Be Just as Severe as Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder Webinar
Date: June 25, 2013
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: online webinar
City:
State:
Details: While 1 in 200 U.S. adults have experienced full-blown anorexia nervosa, at least 1 in 20 (1 in 10 teen girls) have exhibited some of the key symptoms. Many silently endure the effects of anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, but most never address the issue because they don’t fully meet the diagnostic criteria. These individuals, suffering immensely, often feel invalidated when they are labeled with an acronym like EDNOS (DSM-IV) or OSFED (DSM-5). Jennifer Thomas, a clinical psychologist whose research focuses on subthreshold eating disorders, and Jenni Schaefer, an author who is recovered from an eating disorder herself, call this once overlooked category "almost anorexic," which is also the title of their new book in Harvard Medical's School's The Almost Effect series. Combining the latest research and clinical wisdom with inspiring recovery stories, including family member, Nancy Quetti, this webinar will provide practical guidance on how to support those who struggle with subclinical eating disorders, which are just as impairing, dangerous, and deserving of help as their officially recognized counterparts.
