This self-assessment is designed to help you identify key indicators of disordered eating and raise awareness about negative, escalatory or cyclical patterns. It is not intended as a clinical diagnostic tool for eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. If your BMI is less than 18, you are actively purging or restricting food please seek professional support immediately.
Do I Have A Problem With Disordered Eating?
The term ‘disordered eating’ covers a very wide range of behaviours which can include over-eating, under-eating, binge eating and purging, craving food or lacking control around food or an obsession with healthy eating.
Because eating is such a critical part of our daily lives, disordered eating can often feel completely overwhelming. Even so, many people suffer alone, believing their approach to food is manageable or justified. This screening test is designed to encourage you to review and contemplate your relationship with food.
As you read each of the following statements, take your time to think about the answer before selecting the response which feels right. Only you will see the results of this test, so take this as an opportunity to be completely honest with yourself.
If you’d rather undertake a free, confidential, tailored assessment over the phone - or would like to discuss your results, our team is available seven days a week on 1800 063 332 or contact us here.
Note: If you are actively purging or have a BMI less than 18, you should seek professional support immediately.
All responses are protected by patient confidentiality. Your answers to individual questions will not be stored or saved.
