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.
OCD and Eating Disorders are often comorbid conditions, but beyond that, OCD can cause disordered eating. Many OCD issues including Emetophobia, Moral OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Orthorexia, PANDAS/PANS and ARFID can impact our kids ability to eat. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the various OCD issues that can overlap Eating Disorders and some that can be incorrectly diagnosed and treated as only an Eating Disorder.
OCD can hijack any values or passions. So it’s not surprising that clean and healthy eating can turn into an OCD issue as well. When clean and healthy eating turns into a disorder it is called Orthorexia. In this week’s YouTube video for kids and teens I talk about how healthy eating turns into Orthorexia.
