It is 'National Eating Disorder Awareness' Week. NEDA Week helps spread awareness, reduces the stigma, and educates others about eating disorders, so Amy (@RadioAmy) sat down with Kat Defatta (@Kat.Defatta), a licensed therapist that specializes in eating disorders, to do just that by answering some questions on the topic. In this episode you will hear their thoughts (personally and professionally) on OA (overeaters anonymous), using Vyvanse for BED (binge eating disorder), and what to do when you are over stressed and want to engage in a maladaptive coping skill or eating disorder behavior. Both Amy and Kat want you to know that you are not alone and help is available. To spread that message we just have to start talking about it more. Visit NEDA.ORG to find more resources that can help guide you or a loved one on a path that can lead to a life of recovery.
