Workshop Description:

The demand for eating disorder (ED) treatment has never been greater. Over the course of the pandemic, the number of people suffering from an ED and seeking professional help has increased substantially. Waiting lists for hospital programming and for private eating disorder centres are exceptionally long.

Chronic in nature, highly debilitating, and associated with extremely high mortality rates, eating disorders can’t afford to wait. A recent statistic from the Academy for Eating Disorders reported that someone dies as a direct result of their ED every 63 minutes. Given the severity and the sheer demand for services, it is reasonable to expect that most healthcare practitioners will have, on their caseloads, a number of patients with EDs. Stigma, misconceptions, and a lack of clinical resources continue to impede early detection, proper assessment, and necessary treatment. Signs and symptoms are often missed. Thus, it is imperative that all clinicians have foundational knowledge to aid in early detection and pathways to care.

This workshop will provide the most current information on causes of EDs, core features, co-occurring disorders, weight science, and treatment options. These psychoeducational topics mirror the initial stages of ED treatment; thus, the aim of this presentation is to help clinicians feel more equipped to have effective conversations with their clients about EDs and next steps.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify similarities and differences across 7 eating disorder diagnoses
• Describe the biosocial theory of eating disorders
• Define the binge-purge cycle
• Explain how setpoint theory weight is regulated by setpoint
• List 4 indicators of life-threatening symptoms
• Identify 5 ways to help a patient who is struggling
