This is a great clip, if a little sensationalized. First off, I want to comment on the &#8220;Ednos is the deadliest eating disorder, even more deadly than anorexia, even more deadly than bulimia.&#8221; So I want to clarify here, EDNOS stands for &#8220;Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified,&#8221; and really, it&#8217;s main purpose is for coding and billing. Anorexia and bulimia have a very specific set of diagnostic criteria. For instance, to be diagnosed with bulimia, you are bingeing and purging twice a week for at least three months. So what if I had a client who was purging daily for the last month? She&#8217;d be EDNOS. But she&#8217;d still be bulimic. And what if I had a client who vomited every week, but usually just once a week, and she&#8217;d been doing it for years. What if she also binged, then overexercised, but restricted most of the time? What if she&#8217;d lost her period, but her weight wasn&#8217;t 85% of her expected weight? Then she&#8217;d be EDNOS for diagnostic purposes. She wouldn&#8217;t fit into a diagnostic criteria for anorexia or bulimia. What if I had a client who binged on cookies and ice cream several times a week, then compensated by not eating the next day. She&#8217;d have Binge Eating Disorder, but until 2013, there&#8217;s no DSM diagnosis, so she&#8217;d have EDNOS.\u00a0\u00a0 So, the misleading sensationalism about &#8220;EDNOS, the most deadly disease that is the most common that no one ever talks about&#8230;&#8221; is really just a catch all phrase for your typical eating disorder. Most EDs just don&#8217;t fall into the diagnostic criteria neatly. They&#8217;re really complicated. Which is why most people with eating disorders are diagnosed with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.Now, other than my criticism of that, I liked the clip. It&#8217;s a good description of what happens with an eating disorder. It starts as restricting, gets more and more severe, turns into bingeing, which can then turn into bulimia&#8230; I liked the clip with the therapist who sat with Taylor and checked in with her after she finished her pizza, I liked how honest Taylor was about how difficult it was for her to eat the pizza. I liked how they brought eating disorders out of the clinics and explained how confusing and scary they really are. Overall, it was good to see. I&#8217;m glad that EDs and recovery are getting some attention. It was super courageous of those two women to go on national television and discuss their eating disorders.
