How Eating Disorders and OCD Can Team Up (and What to Do About It)

This video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.

Is your child, teen or young adult struggling with both OCD and an eating disorder? They’re not alone—and you’re not imagining the connection.

In this video, I talk about how OCD can show up in eating disorders, including:

• Seeing calories as a form of contamination
• Avoiding people or places as a compulsion
• Obsessing over memory doubts like “Did I eat that?”
