Q

Attitudes to treatment

A

Eating disorders can be difficult to treat as patients often feel conflicted about recovering

  • Also feel pessimistic about treatment as they view their disorder as chronic
    • Many drop out of therapy
    • Drop out of treatment prematurely
17
Q

Transdiagnostic approach

A
  • Huge mix and crossover between features of anorexia & bulimia
  • Reformulation of CBT with this in mind (focusing on pathological eating regardless of disorder) have been very effective/promising
18
Q

*Diathesis Stress Model

A
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Struggle to handle stress
  • Life stresses trigger anorexia
19
Q

Crossover

Anorexia - bulimia is common (weight gain/loss)
Never from restrictive to bulimia though

No link between anorexia & BED

BED more commonly moves to bulimia than the other way around

  • black women have the least EDs
