Description of Presentation:

Eating disorders rarely occur in isolation but are often accompanied by other disorders such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This can complicate the treatment process and leave questions about how to target multiple disorders in an effective and ethical manner. In this presentation, the prevalence of co-occurring disorders in eating disorder populations will be reviewed along with strategies for successful intervention.
