Know the usual course and prognosis of each disorder • 4. Know the complications of each disorder. • 5. Describe the management (assessment/treatment/follow-up) for each disorder.

  3. WHY STUDY EATING (DIETING ) DISORDERS? • The most lethal of all psychiatric disorders • Significant source of mortality and morbidity (interferes with normal growth and development) • Significant number of patients struggle chronically

  4. EPIDEMIOLOGY • Lifetime prevalence of AN is 0.5% for females & 0.05% for males • Lifetime prevalence of BN is 1-3% for females & 1/10th of that for males • Incidence of AN appears to have increased in last few decades • Up to 1/3 of those seeking obesity treatment in hospital settings have binge eating disorder

  5. ETIOLOGIC THEORIES • In general: multiple biopsychosocial determinants • BIOLOGICAL: genetics, dieting/restriction • PSYCHOLOGICAL: affect regulation; avoidance; control • SOCIAL: family pressure; cultural norms

  6. ANOREXIA NERVOSA CRITERIA (the short version) • A. refusal to maintain weight at a normal level • B. intense fear of being fat • C. Preoccupation/misperception/lack of insight as related to weight and shape • D. Amenorrrhea • May be restricting or binge/purge type
