7PM-8:30 PM

Join Jacob Pine for a comprehensive three-session seminar that delves into the complex world of eating disorder diagnosis. This seminar will guide you through:

• The key differences between disordered eating and eating disorders
• Identifying subclinical or off-label eating disorders
• Recognizing early signs of eating disorders across various age groups

While the DSM-V provides clear distinctions between various eating disorders, real-world diagnosis often requires a more nuanced approach. Using the DSM as our diagnostic guide, we will explore clinical examples and engage with participant cases and questions to clarify what constitutes an eating disorder.
