Atypical Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is recognized as an eating disorder under the category of Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder in the DSM-5. Similar to folks living with AN, folks living with atypical AN may severely restrict their caloric intake in an effort to lose weight. Like all eating disorders, atypical AN does not discriminate. It can affect folks of all ages, shapes, and sizes. One-third of folks in inpatient eating disorder programs are diagnosed with atypical anorexia.

Kids and teens affected by eating disorders always ask me, "When do I need to start recovering from my eating disorder?". And parents ask me, "When should I help my child recover from their eating disorder?".

My answer?   "Let's get started now!"

Early change helps predict the success of eating disorder recovery. But, we cannot see change until we start making changes. Some folx come to me to help stop their negative self-talk or interrupt eating disorder behaviours like purging, binging, restriction or overexercising. No matter what folx are hoping to change, early change is KEY!
