Course Summary
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that can often be fatal. Unfortunately, eating disorders often go undiagnosed.
Many clinicians don’t have sufficient training to properly diagnose and treat this psychiatric condition. Weight bias, stigma, and the intersectionality of other identities are additional barriers to diagnosis and treatment. Those who suffer from eating disorders often have the belief that they don’t warrant treatment, despite significant psychosocial impairment because of these barriers.
Because eating disorders affect multiple spheres, they must be treated using a biopsychosocial model in order to achieve full recovery.
It is imperative that eating disorder treatment professionals have some basic understanding of medical consequences of eating disorders to advocate for their clients in the medical community, to effectively collaborate on a multidisciplinary team, and provide much needed psychoeducation to those who suffer from eating disorders and their loved ones.
The reading material for this course, Sick Enough, will be used as a reference over and over on the clinician’s book shelf, and can be recommended to clients and their loved ones to help support recovery.
