Eating Disorder Screening

For those who suffer with eating disorders, the very process that sustains us can become a source of fear, panic, anxiety and pain. Left untreated, this cycle can race out of control, with potentially deadly consequences.

Below is a self test developed by eating disorders experts that can help people decipher if they may have an eating disorder.


Please answer yes or no to each of the following:

  • Do you ever make yourself sick or vomit because you feel uncomfortably full?
  • Do you worry you have lost control over how much you eat?
  • Have you recently lost 15 pounds or more within a 3-month period?
  • Do you believe yourself to be fat when others say you are too thin?
  • Would you say that food dominates your life?

If you answered yes to 2 or more of the above questions, we would recommend that you seek professional advice and consider a formal evaluation.
