LIVE PUBLIC WEBINAR | Thursday, February 27 at 12:00 PM ET This webinar is offered in collaboration with the National Eating Disorders Association. Join us on Thursday, February 27 for a free, live public webinar with ADAA member Norman H. Kim, PhD, to discuss the connections between eating disorders and anxiety and depression. In people struggling with eating disorders, there is often evidence of difficulty tolerating strong emotions, fear and accompanying avoidance, and anxiety-based symptoms felt in their bodies.Understanding eating disorders as manifestations of anxiety can be enormously helpful as a way to better understand an illness that is often difficult to comprehend, especially for family and loved ones.   Dr. Kim will explore this overlap and present the rationale for using exposure-based treatment approaches to help people better manage their anxiety and develop better ability to manage strong emotions.
