Eating Disorders 101: Understanding the Basics and Fundamentals of Care (NAMI-FLNY Holistic Health)

Eating Disorders 101: Understanding the Basics and Fundamentals of Care, presented by NAMI Finger Lakes, as part of our Holistic Health Series. https://www.namifingerlakes.org/holis... Cris Haltom, PhD, CEDS discusses the nature and treatment of eating disorders, which are complex mental health conditions affecting people worldwide across all races, ages, ethnicities, and genders. These disorders require a comprehensive approach that combines medical, nutritional, and psychological care from specialized professionals. While often emerging during adolescence, eating disorders can occur at any age. Anorexia nervosa, for instance, affects about 1% of the population, similar to the prevalence of schizophrenia, while other eating disorders are even more common. These conditions often lead to physical health complications, including malnutrition-related issues like bone density loss and, in women, amenorrhea. In the Western New York region alone, an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 individuals struggle with an eating disorder. Despite the challenges in treatment, recent advances have improved recovery outcomes. Learning Objectives: -- What are eating disorders, and who are the specialists involved in their treatment? -- What levels of care are available, and what are some recent advancements in treatment approaches? -- Why have eating disorders become more prevalent in recent years? -- How does nutrition counseling differ from psychotherapy in treating eating disorders? -- What are the primary goals of eating disorder treatment?
