A Recorded Webinar
Recorded on Wednesday, December 7, 2022
Jump to Course Contents
Description
Specific to this presentation is the identification of eating disorders as a growing phenomenon of cross-addiction or “symptom substitution.” Despite that switching one form of a substance for another is well documented, the emergence or intensification of an eating disorder is often minimized or overlooked. It is suggested compulsive overeating, binge eating, bulimia, and pathological dieting are often obscured in early recovery and stand may take “center stage.” Hence, the metaphor of “switching deck chairs on the Titanic.” Practical approaches to identifying this population, providing the appropriate support, treatment, and resources are an integral part of this webinar.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to identify two primary eating disorder diagnoses appearing in DSM 5.
- Participants will be able to describe at least four similarities between eating disorders and substance use disorders.
- Participants will be able to identify three evidenced based similarities of the reward pathways of eating disorders and a SUD.
