The Eating Disorder Trap: A Guide for Clinicians and Loved Ones – A Virtual CEU Event
Presented By: Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDRD-S
Eating disorders can often look different than the average person may think, which can leave many to go undiagnosed and untreated for months or years, unlike other mental health conditions. As an often-unrecognized category of mental illness, both clinicians and concerned loved ones alike may struggle to find useful tools and resources to help the person they care for. During this presentation, attendees will learn:
- The role of the registered dietitian nutritionist in managing eating disorders.
- The various meanings of “normal”.
- Useful tools for assessing individuals – the pros and cons of BMI.
- Signs and symptoms of eating disorders that are not so obvious.
- When to refer out to a specialty program or provider.
