Overview

The extensive information in this beginner level course equips providers to accurately assess and diagnose eating disorders in adults, provide basic interventions, and offer referrals and resources to these patients. A key component to successfully diagnosing these disorders is recognizing which patients may need to be assessed for them. This goal is accomplished through a review of statistics about the prevalence of eating disorders in specific demographics and populations, such as BIPOC, LGBTQI+, geriatrics, and disabled, as well as with co-occurring conditions such as substance use, trauma and other co-morbidities. Topics discussed in this packed program include: myths about eating disorder, triggers and correlations, neurobiology of the disorder, assessment questions, screening tools, DSM-V diagnoses, orthorexia, athletes/steroid use/”biggerexia,” EDercise vs mindful movement, body image, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, medical complications, admission criteria for levels of care, evidenced-based treatments and interventions for outpatient care and referrals to specialized treatment facilities in Ohio.
