Eating Disorder History Taking Made Clear! OSCE Structure, Red Flags & Refeeding Syndrome

In this episode, we break down how to take a safe, structured history from a patient with a suspected eating disorder. This is a high-yield OSCE station and a clinically important skill — anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality of any psychiatric illness, often due to cardiac complications, electrolyte disturbances and suicide. We cover: • How to sensitively approach eating disorder histories • Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder • Weight history and body image assessment • Restriction, bingeing and compensatory behaviours • Physical symptoms and red flags • Suicide and risk assessment • The SCOFF mnemonic • When admission is required • Baseline investigations • Refeeding syndrome explained clearly This episode focuses on safe clinical practice, structured assessment and recognising when a patient requires urgent medical admission.
