ADHD and eating disorders

Dr. Roberto Olivardia returns to the show to talk about ADHD and
eating disorders in this bonus episode. He explains the different
types of eating disorders — and why ADHD and eating disorders,
like binge-eating disorder (BED), often co-occur. Dr. Olivardia
shares how ADHD symptoms like impulsivity play a role in eating
disorders. He also talks about treatment options and what to do
if you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder
and needs support.
