- Mental Health
In this episode, I am joined by Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Associate at McLean Hospital, and Lecturer at Harvard Medical School. His research and clinical focus on eating disorders and body image in males spans over 25 years. He co-authored "The Adonis Complex," the first book of its kind detailing various manifestations of body image problems in males. Roberto also specializes in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He has spoken on numerous podcasts and webinars and presents at many talks and conferences around the country.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• What behaviors and high-risk medical complications look like in males with eating disorders.
• How the shame attached to the stigma of males with eating disorders often acts as a barrier to receiving support.
• The difference in timeline and prognosis for males with eating disorders compared to those of females.
• The drastic, different, and mixed messages males receive from society and the media.
• How advertising has shifted to extend its reach and messages to the male population.
• The complexity of ADHD and eating disorders.
• The lack of (and need for) research dedicated to males with eating disorders.
