Description of Presentation:

Orthorexia Nervosa (ON), pathologically healthful eating, was first described by osteopathic physician in the early 2000s. He noticed several of his patients had either become underweight, or developed other health problems, because of a rigid adherence to a diet falsely believed to be healthy. This presentation will detail the evolution of ON from the musings of a physician in the United States to the work by Italian researchers to classify those suffering from the condition. The current state of the scholarship in ON will be discussed, particularly best estimates of prevalence, research regarding the ability to detect the condition, and whether ON is deserving its own diagnostic entry in such classification systems as the DSM-5. Finally, diagnostic criteria, case studies, the relationship of ON to Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and treatment will be addressed.
