Understanding Eating Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach 🧠
In today's lecture, I aimed to deepen your understanding of eating disorders, highlighting their nature as serious, biologically-rooted psychiatric illnesses with some of the highest mortality rates in psychiatry, particularly in severe cases of anorexia nervosa where mortality can reach up to 20%. I discussed the major DSM-5 eating disorder categories, their neurobiological underpinnings, and the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic and medical workup. I emphasized the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach in treatment, including psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy tailored to each disorder. I urge you to be vigilant in recognizing these conditions, especially when patients present with seemingly benign complaints, and to coordinate care effectively. Remember, eating disorders are not just about food; they involve complex issues of identity, control, and emotional regulation.
