About
Orthorexia nervosa is an emerging eating disorder often overshadowed by more widely recognized conditions like anorexia or bulimia. Characterized by an unhealthy obsession with “clean” or “healthy” eating, orthorexia poses significant risks to mental and physical health while remaining absent from formal diagnostic systems like the DSM and ICD.

This webinar offers an in-depth exploration of orthorexia nervosa tailored specifically for behavioral health clinicians.

You’ll gain:
➡️ A foundational understanding of orthorexia’s historical context, defining traits, and controversy in diagnostic criteria.
➡️ Insights into the psychological and sociocultural factors driving orthorexic behaviors, including the impact of diet culture and “healthism.”
➡️ Practical tools to identify physical, emotional, and behavioral signs in clients.
➡️ Evidence-informed treatment strategies for managing orthorexia in a multidisciplinary framework.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and understanding of an underrecognized yet critical mental health challenge.

Who Should Attend:
☑️ Psychologists
☑️ Therapists and Counselors
☑️ Dietitians and Nutritionists
☑️ Social Workers
☑️ Medical Professionals
☑️ Anyone invested in the mental health and well-being of clients impacted by disordered eating
