饮食障碍的诊断

Eating disorders can be diagnosed by a number of professionals. This includes medical physicians or mental health professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, dietitians, or social workers.

Sometimes a pediatrician or family practice doctor will diagnose an eating disorder after noticing symptoms within the course of a regular check-up or having questions brought up by the patient or his or her parent. On other occasions, a patient or his or her family will have concerns and schedule an assessment with a mental health professional.

是否有饮食障碍的测试？

While eating disorders are serious illnesses with physical complications, there is no laboratory test to screen for eating disorders. However, there are multiple questionnaires and assessment tools that may be used to assess a person's symptoms.
