At least 30 million people of all ages and genders suffer from eating disorders in the United States.
They are complex mental illnesses that affect thinking, mood &
behavior, often leading to dangerous medical complications.
An Eating Disorder is an Illness, Not a Choice.
Eating Disorder Prevalence
Eating disorders are often shown in the media to effect heterosexual, affluent, cisgender, thin, young, able-bodied, white females.
Let’s get real…• Eating disorders are common across gender, sex, age, race/ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, and body shapes and sizes • Female to Male ED ratio: AN ~3:1, BN ~3:1, BED ~5:4 • Boys of color > White boys• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual youth > Heterosexual youth • Transgender youth > Cisgender youth
(Swanson et al., 2017)

Eating Disorders Do Not Discriminate
Inaccurate stereotypes decrease the likelihood that those who are
male, homosexual, poor, people of color, larger-bodied, or transgender
will be diagnosed and receive adequate treatment.
Urgent Attention is NeededTransgender individuals are an understudied and under-recognized group that experience eating disorders and disordered eating at very high rates.Until about 5 years ago, we knew almost nothing eating disorders in the transgender community. LGBTQ studies have had to cover a very diverse group and often lack statistical power to investigate gender dysphoric patients specifically.Among gender minority people, lived experiences and health needs differ substantially across the continuum of non-binary and binary gender identities, as well as based on AFAB versus AMAB.Eating disorder research is already underfunded, which also contributes to an even greater disparity in research about trans people with eating disorders.

Eating Disorders & Suicidality Among LGBTQ Youth
A 2018 survey conducted by Trevor Project and NEDA consisted of > 1,000 LGBTQ youth ages 13-24
54% reported an ED diagnosis• An additional 21% (75% total)
suspected that they had an ED
71% of transgender individuals who identified as straight reported having an ED disorder• Anorexia nervosa was the
highest reported diagnosis
58% of respondents diagnosed with an ED had also considered suicide
(NEDA, 2018)
Overview of Eating Disorders in the DSM-5
Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge Eating Disorder
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder
(APA, 2013)
4/29/19
5
Anorexia Nervosa
Restriction of energy intake leading to a significantly low body weight• Restrictive F50.01 or Binge/Purge Type F50.02
Intense fear of weight gain or becoming fat despite low weightBody image disturbance – either in how their body is experienced or how much influence body shape/weight has on self-esteem
• Constant comparison of self to others• Refers to self disparagingly – “fat”, “gross”, “soft”, “ugly”, ”thick”• Consistently over-estimates their own body size and seeks constant
reassurance from others that their looks are acceptable
(APA, 2013)
Anorexia Nervosa
Malnourished state/weight represents self-worth, self-control and accomplishment Persistent lack of recognition of the seriousness of the current low body weightMenses may stop, but not mandatory for diagnosis
Mild BMI >= 17, Moderate BMI 16-16.99, Severe BMI 15-15.99, Extreme BMI< 15
~ 50-60% recover; ~ 30% improve; ~ 7-15% chronic
SMR for AN = 5.86 (about 20% due to suicide). Highest of any psychiatric disorder.
(APA, 2013)

6
Bulimia Nervosa
Recurrent episodes of binge eatingan episode is characterized by:
• Eating in a discrete period of time (~2hrs) an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and circumstance.
• A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode
Recurrent episodes of inappropriate compensatory
behavior to prevent weight gain
• Shame and disgust associated with binge eating leads to “undoing”
• Vomiting, laxatives, enemas, diet pills, diuretics, fat burners, excessive exercise…
• May underreport frequency
(APA, 2013)
Bulimia Nervosa
Does not always have a visible impact on weightVery critical self evaluation unduly influenced by body shape and weightBinges and compensatory behavior occur on average of at least once a week for 3 months
Mild 1-3, Moderate 4-7, Severe 8-13, Extreme 14 or more episodes/week
Short-term success of treatment: 50-70%; High relapse rates: 30-85% at 6 mo to 6 years
SMR for BN = 1.9 (~ 20% due to suicide) (APA, 2013)
4/29/19
7
Binge Eating Disorder
Recurrent eating of large amount of food within a 2 hour period of a large amount of food with sense of loss of controlBinge eating episodes are associated with 3 or more:
• Eating with extreme guilt, self disgust• Eating past fullness, uncomfortably full• Eating large amounts when not hungry• Eating alone due to embarrassment, rapidly• Food is used as a mood altering substance• Eating much more rapidly than normal
Marked distress regarding binges
(APA, 2013)
Binge Eating Disorder
Occurs, on average, at least 1 time a week over 3 monthsNot associated with compensatory behavior
Mild 1-3, Moderate 4-7, Severe 8-13, Extreme 14 or more episodes/week
Course of illness among patients with BED is often chronicDegree of weight suppression predicts binge eatingAdolescent onset is associated with later bulimia
(APA, 2013)

8
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
Feeding/eating disturbance and failure to meet appropriate nutritional/energy needs with:• Significant weight loss• Significant nutritional deficiency• Dependence on enteral feeding or oral supplements• Marked interference with psychological function
Not explained by lack of available food – sensory food aversion, allergies, trauma, or picky eating may precede illnessNo evidence of a disturbance in the way in which one’s body weight or shape is experiencedNot explained by concurrent medical or psychological conditionNot occurring solely in course of AN or BN
(APA, 2013)
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder
DSM-IV EDNOS -> DSM-5 OSFED• Atypical Anorexia Nervosa: Despite significant weight loss, the individual’s
weight is within or above normal range• Binge Eating Disorder or Bulimia Nervosa of low frequency and/or limited
duration• Purging disorder: Recurrent purging behavior to influence weight or shape in the
absence of binge eating• Night Eating Syndrome: Recurrent episodes of night eating. Eating after
awakening from sleep, or by excessive food consumption after the evening meal.
(APA, 2013)

What Causes Eating
Disorders?
Psychological BiologicalGenetic
Environmental Social Factors
• Dieting• Early body dissatisfaction • Trauma• Bullying • Intensive sport training• Participation in activities that
emphasize ideal body size/shape or need to make weight• dance, gymnastics, modelling,
wresting, crew• LGBTQ
Factors which
Increase Risk
ACHA Study of ~ 300,000 US College StudentsComparison group: Cisgender heterosexual women• 1% diagnosed with ED in past year• 3% vomited or used laxatives and 3.5% used diet pills in last month
Trans students were 2-4x more likely to report ED dx and behaviorsTrans students who were unsure of sexual orientation were significantly more likely to report ED diagnoses and behaviorsCisgender heterosexual men were 1/3 as likely to use ED behaviors Gay men were 1.5x more likely to have formal ED diagnosesLesbian women had similar rates
(Diemer et al, 2015; Gaudiani, 2018)
4/29/19
10
ED Prevalence by Gender IdentityIn study of 452 transgender adults in Massachusetts• 31% AFAB and gender non-conforming/non-binary• 31% Trans men• 9% AMAB and gender non-conforming/non-binary• 28% Trans women
Those who were AFAB and gender non-binary had highest lifetime rate of self-reported and formally diagnosed EDs (7.4%).Non-binary individuals were 3x more likely to have had an ED compared with trans binaryLowest level of ED was in trans women
(Diemer et al, 2018; Gaudiani, 2018)
Why are Trans and Non-binary Individuals at Increased Risk for
having an Eating Disorder?
4/29/19
11
Body DissatisfactionBody dissatisfaction, negative evaluation of one’s appearance, has consistently been associated with eating disordersTransgender people are particularly vulnerable due to the distress and incongruence they experience with their gender and bodyDesire to achieve body image “ideal”/“beauty”, LGBTQ cultural contextsDesire to stop menses, puberty and development• Trans men seeking less feminine body shape (stop breast and hip
development)• Trans women seeking ideal thin and to accentuate femininity • Non binary may restrict to appear as thin, androgynous
However, not all trans and cisgender people with eating disorders report a connection between body image and eating disorder
(Diemer et al, 2018; Jones et al, 2018)
Minority StressStress experienced by individuals in stigmatized social categories.Fear and/or experiences of adverse consequences or rejection, violence, discrimination, bullying, loneliness, internalized stigma, and pressure by family, school, religious, and social communities to conceal one’s identity all have a major impact on mental health.Those with lower visual conformity, those who defy a quick verbal label of male or female, may be more vulnerable to societal mistreatment.The eating disorder can serve as a way to cope with these difficult situations, emotions and stress.
(Diemer et al, 2018; Jones et al, 2018; Gaudiani, 2018)

12
Importance of Protective FactorsCanadian online survey of 923 transgender youth (aged 14-25)Enacted stigma (higher rates of harassment and discrimination experienced by sexual minority youth) was linked to higher odds of reported past year binge eating, fasting or vomiting to lose weight.Youth with the highest levels of harassment and discrimination and no protective factors had high probabilities of past year ED behaviors.Protective factors, including family connectedness, school connectedness, caring friends, and social support, were linked to lower odds of past year disordered eating behaviors.
(Watson et al, 2016)
Lack of Access to Gender Affirming Care
Lack of needed gender affirming health care can increase body dissatisfaction and increases eating disorder risk.
Related obstacles:• Lack of coverage of gender affirming care by their health insurance.• Perceptions of care providers.• Harassment in healthcare settings.• Systemic oppression – forms, bathrooms, etc…• Fears around coming out to health care provider.
(Gordon, 2018; James et al, 2016; NEDA, 2016)

13
ED Treatment Barriers for Trans Folk
Lack of culturally-competent treatment and crossover competency• Lack of availability of culturally-competent treatment addressing gender
identity issues.• Insufficient eating disorder education among providers who are in a position
to detect and intervene.• Insufficient transgender education among among eating disorder treatment
providers.• Insufficient research of intersectional identities
Intensive eating disorder treatment (RTC, PHP, and IOP) has been historically binary—but this is improving.No specific treatments exist for transgender individuals with eating disorders.
(Gordon, 2018; James et al, 2016; NEDA, 2016)
Medical Complications,Psychiatric Co-morbidity
and Suicide
4/29/19
14
Medical Complications in Eating DisordersCardiovascular: low BP, low pulse, postural tachycardia, arrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalitiesGastrointestinal: constipation, reflux, bloating, dysmotility, regurgitation, IBS like symptoms, gas, pain Bone/endocrine: amenorrhea, osteoporosis, osteopeniaHematologic: anemia, low white countMetabolic: hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, high cholesterolPsychiatric: MDD, GAD, Social anxiety, Panic, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, Substance use/abuse; self-harm, suicidal ideation/attempts
Work Up: CMP, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Amylase, TSH, CBC,postural VS, Height, Weight, Urinalysis, EKG, DEXA
(Academy for Eating Disorders, 2016)
High Rates of Psychiatric Co-morbidity with Eating Disorders
• Depression greater than 50%• Bipolar disorder up to 15%
Mood Disorders
• Greater than 60% of cases• Social anxiety disorder, Panic disorder and GAD• PTSD up to 10%• OCD/OCPD up to 25%
Anxiety Disorders
• 10%, up to 20% with BNADHD
• 10 to 25% associated with AN binge/purge type, BN, BEDSubstance Abuse Disorders
• 2 to 20%• Avoidant, Dependent, OCPD, BPD
Personality Disorders
(Hudson et al, 2007)
4/29/19
15
High Suicide Risk—Eating DisordersEating disorders have increased suicide risk and mortality• AN has highest rate of mortality of any mental heath condition due to suicide
and medical complications• Research shows similar mortality rates with OSFED• Adolescents have an increased risk of suicidal behaviors and completed
suicides across all eating disorder diagnoses
Rates of death by suicide in those with EDs are elevated compared to other mental health disorders (depression, bipolar, schizophrenia)Those with AN are 31X and BN are 7.5X more likely to die by suicide than the general population
(Arcelus, 2011; Dancyger, 2005; Crow, 2009; Smith, 2017; Chesney, 2014; Pretti, 2011)
High Comorbidity and Suicide Risk—TransgenderTrans and non-binary people have an increased psychiatric diagnoses compared with the general population.• High prevalence of depression (44.1%) and anxiety (33.2%)• 10% reported lifetime substance use treatmentTransgender individuals risk of attempted suicide is 5-10x higher than general population.• The 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey documented a 40% lifetime
prevalence of suicide attempts among trans and non-binary people compared with 4.6% in the general population.
A 2017 systematic review of studies found prevalences of suicidal ideation ranging from 37% to 83%.
(Beckwith 2019; Bockting, 2013; Keuroghlian, 2015; McNeil, 2017; James, 2016)

Gender minority individuals should be assessed on an ongoing basis for eating disorder
symptoms, medical complications, mental health concerns and suicide.
Trans individuals are best served by a multidisciplinary team specialized in eating disorders as well as gender-affirming care
Physician(s): ongoing assessment and treatment of medical complications, psychiatric comorbidities and provision of gender-affirming care
Dietitian: nutritional assessment, weight goals, meal planTherapist: individual, group and/or family therapy
Others: family/loved ones, sport family, school nurse or counselor

17
Weight Goals in Trans Eating Disorder PatientsMost likely you will need to individualize Possible helpful tools• Growth charts from birth assigned sex and asserted gender• Find IBW for both sex’s and go from there• You cannot rely on hormone levels if on hormone therapy• Monitor vitals, labs and mindset
Consider weight suppressionFears of resuming menses• Patient may lose menses due to malnutrition• If on continuous OCP – don’t stop just to access energy balance• Consider IUD
(Donaldson et al, 2018; Gaudiani, 2018)
Hormone Therapy and Body DissatisfactionA recent study found trans people who were not on hormones reported more ED symptoms than trans people on hormones.
N = 563 (AFAB 211, AMAB 352) : 139 HRT, 416 no HRTFindings suggested hormone therapy may be able to alleviate ED symptoms through increasing body satisfaction which reduces perfectionism and anxiety and increases self-esteem. Clinicians working at eating disorder services should assess gender identity issues and refer patients with such issues to transgender health services so that they can be evaluated for hormone therapy.
(Jones et al, 2018)
4/29/19
18
Surgery and Body Dissatisfaction154 TFS, 288 TMS individuals completed the Trans Health Survey.Findings suggested that GCMIs reduce experiences of non-affirmation, which increases body satisfaction and decreases ED symptoms. • GCMIs – genital surgery, chest surgery, HRT, hysterectomy, and hair removal
Among TFS, the relationship between chest surgery and lower ED symptoms was most strongly mediated by body satisfaction, suggesting that body satisfaction alone may result in lower ED symptoms—even if affirmation from the external world is unchanged.More research is needed to better assess whether particular GCMIs have a preventative or ameliorative role in ED symptoms and whether a particular level of ED recovery is advisable before initiating GCMIs.
(Testa et al, 2017)
“‘Life-saving’ for someone with anorexia can be changing their perspective instead of changing their body. But ‘life-saving’ for a trans person could be changing their body rather than trying to change their perspective. And for trans folks who are recovering from eating disorders... sometimes it’s about both changing your perspective and changing your body”
(Sam Dylan Finch, 2016)

Therapeutic Pearls for ED and Trans FolkCreate a safe space• Ask for and use preferred pronouns and name• Be aware of the unique stressors often be experienced by trans people
Reduce blame, shame and stigma• Help them understand they are not to blame for gender dysphoria or ED• Work with them on identifying the difference between external oppression
that has been internalized versus their own values and beliefs• Distinguish between the ED voice and their own unique thoughts and feelings
Provide ongoing care, compassion and support• Explore the intersection of gender identity and eating disorder behaviors• Educate about and explore the appropriateness of hormone therapy/surgery
