Description:
Night eating syndrome is an often-overlooked condition that can present similarly to binge eating disorder. By identifying its component parts, which includes mood, eating and sleeping disorders, it can be more appropriately treated. This course will describe the etiology of night eating syndrome along with outlining treatment for the condition.
Night eating syndrome (NES) is listed in the DSM-5 as an OFSED, but it was first described as long ago as 1955. There are varying operational definitions that categorize the syndrome as a combination of eating, sleeping and mood disorders. Too often NES is not identified nor treated by healthcare professionals despite its prevalence which is estimated to be as high as 25% of the loss of control (BED) population. Failure to address the condition can result in significant detriment to health and well-being. This talk will focus on the dysregulation of the circadian rhythm and provide insights into sleep improvement. Interventions for treating NES will touch on medications, nutritional therapy, psychotherapy, phototherapy and behavioral approaches.
This is an introductory program for all mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives:
To identify the etiology of night eating syndrome and apply appropriate treatment
