Ever wondered about the intricacies of eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa? What if you could unravel the complexities of these disorders and understand their defining features, similarities, and differences? Join us, your hosts Stacy Frost and Dr. Linton Hutchinson, as we break down these disorders and provide you with a thorough understanding of their impact. We delve into the details of bulimia's binge eating, compensatory behavior, and distorted self-image, as well as anorexia's persistent food restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted weight perception. 

We don't stop there. We shed light on the often misunderstood subtypes of anorexia nervosa: the restricting type and the binging/purging type, and how they intersect with bulimia. How do you differentiate them based on the client's weight? We've got answers. As we navigate through these disorders, keep in mind that the DSM-5TR is your compass. Don't miss this insightful episode, where we take you on a journey to better understand the world of eating disorders. Remember, knowledge is power, and it's in there, folks!
