About this listen

Dr. A. Ocana explores eating disorders through the lens of addiction, examining how underlying anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders contribute to their development. The discussion highlights the shared dopamine-driven pathways between eating disorders and other forms of addiction.

The discussion also covers the difference between disordered eating and an eating disorder, where self-harming behaviors like cutting fit into the picture, the role of body dysmorphia, and the important question of what should be addressed first in the treatment process.
