Class Summary - Today we continued to discuss signs and symptoms, health problems, risk factors and logistical things associated with anorexia nervosa (review from previous day), bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorders. We discussed how they are actually mental disorders and compared some common factors of eating disorders to some of the other mental disorders that we talked about. We also discussed an disorder called EDNOS which stands for eating disorder not otherwise specified which includes disordered eating that may not fit the criteria of the other diagnosed eating disorders.
Homework - The test on chapter 3-4 is scheduled for Friday.
Objectives - Students will identify the signs, symptoms and risk factors for bulimia, binge eating disorders and eating disorders not otherwise specified. Students will understand that this is a mental illness and not a flaw of character.
