Presentations

The case:

Mary is a 22 year old woman presenting for treatment due to concern her family has regarding her relationship with eating and exercise. She lives at home and works full time. She meets diagnostic criteria for OSFED (Other Specified Eating and Feeding Disorder) and her presentation is consistent with “orthorexia nervosa” (a laypersons diagnosis).

This case study discusses what orthorexia nervosa is and identifies a treatment framework that is multidisciplinary and includes dietetic, psychological and medical support. The importance of dietitians being familiar with eating disorders such as orthorexia is also highlighted.
