Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders and Unhealthy Sport Environments

Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders and Unhealthy Sport Environments

Eating disorders are at least as prevalent in athletes as they are in the general population, if not more prevalent, and require careful attention in treatment due to nuanced differences in symptoms and conceptualizations. We will discuss how eating disorders in athletes may need tailored treatments given individual, systemic, and cultural risk and maintenance factors that are unique to sports. We will also discuss treatment considerations for athletes based on levels of care and an athlete’s life cycle.
