Disordered eating is becoming an epidemic in the Middle East. When an unhealthy relationship with food is developed, food then turns into something to be feared, paving the way for disordered food behaviors.The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) reports that approximately 35 percent of “normal dieters” develop a pattern of pathological dieting. So, individuals with eating disorders exhibit disordered eating, but not all disordered eaters can be diagnosed with a full-blown eating disorder.
In our webinar we are trying to clarify the differences and the similarities between Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating and shed light on the updates of different lines of treatment for Eating Disorders.

1- Understanding the difference between Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
