Atypical Anorexia: Mental & Physical Health Risks, Plus How the Term is Controversial

A Dr. Marianne-Land SOLO episode! Atypical anorexia has been in the news a lot in the past couple of years, and it is more common than you might think. Even though it’s considered “atypical,” it is still anorexia, and with it comes many mental and physical health risks. I have my own experiences having atypical anorexia, and the only differences were that (a) I didn’t “look” like I had anorexia in that I wasn’t unusually thin, and (b) NO ONE thought that I had anorexia, even though I demonstrated most of the symptoms. Let’s dive into the mental and physical health risks of atypical anorexia, and I’ll share more about my story of having it in middle school growing up in Colorado, in the United States.

Stay tuned for my SOLO episodes on Fridays, as well as the weekly interviews on Tuesdays. :)

Listen to another SOLO episode, in which I talk about my overall eating disorder recovery journey (listen via Apple or Spotify). 

Plus a SOLO episode when I talk about how I treat eating disorders (listen via Apple or Spotify).
