About the event: The presence of co-occurring conditions can complicate the treatment of eating disorders. A common case is with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In fact, as many as 35% of patients with eating disorders also have OCD, with particularly high rates for those diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder. This presentation will provide an overview of why OCD and eating disorders seem to be so closely related and help providers differentiate between the two conditions. It will also offer guidance to providers on how to incorporate treatment of OCD into eating disorder recovery.
Learning objectives: After participating in this session, attendees should be able to:
1. Identify shared risk factors that link OCD and eating disorders.
2. Differentiate between OCD and eating disorders.
3. Describe considerations for determining how to sequence the treatment of OCD and an eating disorder.
