Thank you for sharing these videos. They really help me in my recovery. 😊

Picky eaters don’t realize how they affect those who are their friends. I have lived with a man for over twenty years with an extreme picky eating ‘disorder’. He is now 66yrs old and still crosses his arms over his chest with his head going back and forth- no I don’t like it. I’ve seen him take a plain hamburger with cheese and throw into trash because it had cheese, and then will eat a grilled cheese sandwich. He won’t try any Chinese foods, no Mexican foods, no Italian. He has lived on plain hamburger, fries, chicken strips, pot pies and peanut butter with brown sugar sandwiches his whole life. He WILL NOT try anything new, and if he does, it is a tiny taste and he wants to be applauded for the try. He doesn’t attend celebration dinners or try any new eateries because he knows they won’t have anything for him to eat. He won’t even try pizza. It has been an awful ugly frustrating friendship and I’m always having to eat alone. I consider it an immature stubborn habit that goes all the way back to his mommy making him sit at the table while everyone else left. Always blame mom right?

I have issues with anxiety over improving my life. I start to diet and focus on getting a job, and I start to break down.

I am 52 and I have had Anorexia for 2 years now. You don’t have to be young to have an ED.

I call mine Ana.

I was I had known

So useful to me as a parent if a 22yr old anorexic daughter and a psychotherapist . . External using the ED has been helpful in both contexts . I use it as a separate and distinct statecto help mobilise anger and thus motivation and confidence to engage in assertiveness skills . Using CAT therapy we map the role and it’s voice and power on paper , pros and cons of maintaining the beliefs versus a new healthy way of challenging and replacing the ED’s voice Thanks again

a well presented lecture...thanks! people need to avoid reading the comments below, made mostly by people who don't know what they are talking about

Who was binge eating while watching this

Saying ‘Umm’ too much got a bit annoying.

Where's the list of walks?

Eating disorders are mental illness's that have the potential to kill.

Stay strong Ella

what foods would I have to eat to develop this kind of disorders you were discussing about? When I binge eat a smoothie made of e.g. 10 bananas and 20 dates plus cinnamon it does not only taste delicious, but it gives me energy for hours, I feel great and happy and productive. Later I may eat 1 kg of cooked rice with a whole broccoli with spices (no oil added) and that does not give me anxiety, but makes me feel satisfied and very positive. I wonder what foodstuffs your patients eat? McDisorder?

Help raise awareness!

ryan you are a true hero. your ability to reach out to a small minority of ED sufferers is something I am truly greatful for. thank you for recognizing the trans people with EDs and I hope you continue on a great life path.

I have been watching your latest video blogs and while they are very interesting and might influence eating disorders to some extend, I think eating disorders are caused by a bigger extend by trauma, family values and not knowing how to deal with problems or emotions, as well as genetics!

From our I Had No Idea... video series, Ryan speaks about eating disorders and gender identity.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and experience. Each of you made points that resonated with me and my experience. As we know everyone's recovery journey is unique to them and may look very different at various points of treatment. As part of my personal, 40 year battle with ED, I found it helpful to externalize ED in order to reclaim power over my disorder and accept ownership for my actions. I experienced the biggest shift in my thoughts/disorder during a group art-therapy program.

Very educational for loved ones but too repetitive!

Hey I totally missed most of as my internet stinks but is there away to play the whole thing again? Just hitting myself for missing all but scratchy 15 minutes of it.

So, Dr. Insel....Perhaps you are well aware that you are seeing entirely through rose-colored glasses believing that all "eating disorders treatment" is so wonderful as that which your daughter Laura received in Atlanta. For most of us, finding humane treatment, or any treatment at all from knowledgeable or competent practitioners or facilities is almost always impossible. What are you doing about making these so-called "hospitals" respect our human rights and stop being simply prisons for skinny kids? You speak of insight. Frankly, the problem isn't the that the patients lack insight. The practitioners themselves lack insight and fail to see the wonderful insights that us patients have. The DSM, any DSM, should be tossed out, and the voice of those who actually have these eating problems should rise above the voice of unknowing "experts." Psychiatry should take its fingers out of the pie. These classifications and oversimplifications do us no favor. They cause stereotyping, bigotry, profiling, and denial of care. For instance, during my very last ever appointment with such a person, a psychiatrist, September 2013, this woman "looked me up and down," clearly trying to sneak a peek at my weight, and then, noting that I was thin, said to me, "So what's your problem?" She pulled out her prescription pad. I told her I suffered from anorexia and I also suffered from severe binge eating but that I did not throw up. The woman glanced at me again and then said, "No, that's impossible. There's no such thing as as anorexia with binge eating. You are delusional. Take a pill." I left in disgust, realizing my eating disorder had been around longer than she had even been alive. Dr. Insel, I'm no adolescent. I'm your age. When you and I were growing up, we didn't see Twiggy on the news. I saw Vietnam, and later, I heard Nixon lie. You did, too. My doctors lied to me as well.

Hi! I'm James.I did -35 lbs in one week.More here aidadiet.com

Thanks for sharing, you are so strong!

You're so brave- thank you for such an inspirational message.

We need a walk in Memphis, TN!!!! PLEASE! Or someone within driving distance! Closer than Texas! P.s. I love this video. Beautiful girl :)

Please, a little empathy, here, PG. As I enjoy my Barbie Dolls and US magazine, I also get how they can influence a young womens self image and lead to destructive behavior. These are real problems, just not for you and I.
