Equip’s Post

If you’ve heard the term ‘OSFED’ before, you’ve probably wondered what it looks like in real life. Many people experience disordered eating behaviors that don’t fit neatly into the commonly-known eating disorders (like bulimia, anorexia, or binge eating disorder). OSFED puts a name and diagnosis to this gray area. 🔦 You can think of OSFED as more of an umbrella ☂️ that covers a variety of eating disorders that can look very different from each other. In fact, there are more forms of OSFED than the 5 featured in this post, like pica, chew and spit disorder, and rumination disorder. 📝 For many, an OSFED eating disorder diagnosis can help validate what they’ve been feeling and help them get treatment access or insurance coverage. For others, it can feel hard to relate to, and they may identify more closely with their subtype diagnosis. This is one of the (many) reasons that OSFED is a particularly nuanced eating disorder diagnosis! We recently partnered with Equip on a guide that dives deeper into OSFED and all that falls under its umbrella. Click https://lnkd.in/gfCBKtXk to read the full article. 🔗
