Presented by: Samantha DeCaro, PsyD - Director of Clinical Outreach and Education, The Renfrew Center
Held Online
Night Eating Syndrome (NES) is listed under the diagnosis of OSFED, yet seems to be overlooked, misunderstood, and misdiagnosed due to a general lack of awareness. Similar to other eating disorders, NES can have devastating effects physically and psychologically, especially when the quality and quantity of sleep is continually disrupted. Treatment must be individualized by implementing key interventions, targeting maintaining factors and expanding the interdisciplinary team. Attendees will learn how to spot the differences between Night Eating Syndrome, similar eating disorders, and sleep-related eating disorders (SREDS) and offer clients concrete tools to help them break free from the night eating cycle.
