Strictly’s Dianne Buswell Opens Up On Her Struggle With an Eating Disorder | This Morning 

Has it actually been removed? 🙏🙏🙏

the nhs still have a low BMI as one of the diagnostic criteria

What you are describing is atypical anorexia. Diagnostically the patient is required to have lost a significant amount of weight, but not necessarily be underweight. This will still cause unstable obs and be dangerous, re-feeding disorder can still occur.

@@sfrancies87 This was the case until a year or so ago, but the original commenter is right the DSM actually removed weight threshold as a diagnostic criteria in its most recent edition. Atypical anorexia is actually no longer a thing as it can be a really dangerous label that causes a lot of people to get sicker. Anorexia can present in anyone of any weight. The NHS still use BMI as a diagnostic criteria because they are so oversubscribed and so need to address the most risky cases, that doesn't make them the most severe. Anorexia is an illness and a mindset not a body shape or size.

@@maisydownes3978 I treat a number of patients with atypical anorexia under the service I work for. I would suggest not giving out medical information unless you are a professional.

Eating disorders don't discriminate!!

❤

I know that CBT for emetophobia is available on the NHS (in some areas and possibly in all). Perhaps you could look into that. Best wishes

Yeah I suffer with acrid due to my autism there’s no support :( they only care when you’re at a low weight

Exactly

I’ve noticed this too Becky and I really hope that the focus on ARFID for this year’s EDAW will translate into actual funding and treatment provision for ARFID…simply raising awareness isn’t enough.😢

I agree everyone is different not everyone is underweight with an eating disorder and has to look underweight.

@@ChloeSinclair-jt5kj exactly!! You don’t need to look a certain way at all! But I think the main misconception is wanting to be a certain weight or controlling through calories and exercise - that’s not always the case

@@aws_540 yes that’s exactly what I said but in a longer format. Anorexia nervosa is the type that gets the main online coverage, but it’s very often just shortened to anorexia. That’s where the confusion comes in for people to assume that ALL eating disorders are related to weight but they’re not. This is because two conditions are being talked about with the same word but no further explanation. Anxiety/depression etc can cause any type without there being any aspect of weight being involved.

Agree. It's about control.If people can't control other things happening in their life then they control what they eat/don't eat. It's not uncommon for children whose parents are splitting up develop eating disorders. There are so many different stories of why people develop anorexia and bulimia.

*DSM5 I think not NICE sorry

He spoke a lot but I heard nothing helpful. Strange interview

Also the way he said it, people with an ED mentality will see Anorexia as preferable.

I'm a consultant psychiatrist, and we don't use DSM in the UK, so what you've said makes no sense. The doctor was spot on.

Um just because we don't use it in this country doesn't mean it's wrong and that the UK guidelines are right?@@rog56.7

He was asked the medical differentiation and that's what it is. Literally everything could trigger them to lose more do you want him to lie instead? It's important for others to spot, because some may be unaware that it can still be an eating disorder at any weight. You can't stop talking about it because it may trigger the sufferers. I've been around ppl who just seeing an image of a thinner person triggers them

@@farhana6913 Look, I’m not lying or disagreeing with the fact that weight criteria is PART of the diagnosis. However, he was asked what the difference between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa is and the weight criteria is all he could list, which is simply not factually correct or helpful. You’re right, anybody could be triggered by anything. But let’s not forget this is a professional on a show with thousands and thousands of viewers. He has a responsibility to deliver accurate, helpful information and i felt like ( and many others from the comments) he didn’t do that. I would expect a doctor ( especially one with a BOOK) would be able to say more criteria for an eating disorder besides weight. Let’s not forget it is a mental disorder with physical side effects. I was disappointed like the many others in this thread. By his criteria anybody “ underweight” could just be suffering from anorexia. Too simplified and is simply harmful to sufferers. Yes SOME may be underweight but most won’t be and most will be suffering in silence until they fit the weight criteria.

I agree. I love Dianne so it's not a dig but it is very clear that she is overly cautious/strict with her diet. Everything in moderation 💜

I wouldn't say that at all, she takes care of her self and her body naturally to support her career and clearly has a passion for health and fitness ❤

Sorry are you taking a vlog that shows 20-30 minutes of a 24 day as showing everything that she eats / does? The type of people who think they know exactly how someone is / what their life is like from a 20 minute video edited together fro multiple days, need their heads testing. You don't know this person, no matter how much you think you do.

If she’s saying she’s better then we have no choice but to believe her since she knows herself best

that’s not the case at all ❤

YES?! Like, I had bulimia varying between normal and low BMI for 10 years. talking about weight to distinguish between the two doens't even make any SENSE.

Your comment wasn't necessary either. Don't belittle another's story.

@@JH-nb4nnthey aren’t belittling Dianne’s story, they’re pointing out that it was unnecessary to show those potentially triggering photos of Dianne’s underfed/starved body

why not?? She wants to show them. Your social media pictures or comments definitely aren't necessary either, yet here you are. You don't get to decide what's triggering. The entire universe is triggering. Get over it. 😂 @@cuca_

@@JH-nb4nn you’re using a very rude tone, I don’t understand why? You seem very triggered at us suggesting it’s inappropriate to show pictures of a starved body suffering from anorexia. Your take and lack of empathy for other viewpoints is very strange! And the way you think it’s ok to talk to people leaves a lot to be desired… I hope you have the day you deserve, dear ✌️

They’re a documentary on it but yes absolutely

Yes this is so important. Being diabetic with an eating disorder is even harder. I have BED and T1 Diabetes.

@@Rubatheva yeah from years ago one documentary wow

What's your point? The book she has contributed to is new, hence why she's talking about it again to promote it. Not everyone will have watched Freeze the Fear, or seen her on Lorraine, or even know who Dianne is if they don't watch Strictly or follow her.

theres a lot more to it also talk about behaviors not just weight

He briefly mentioned Binge Eating Disorder as being the second most common disorder

You should see your gp.

@@rangochu2713 I should be so lucky

Please go straight to A&E

I used to tell my parents that as a child too.

@sarahbee7391 really my son has austim I thought it maybe cause of that

@@mazda2038 I have never been diagnosed, but I have many autistic qualities. The eating disorder started in my teens, (now 30) I still struggle with bulimia. A cycle of restrictive eating mixed with purging my food. My teeth have suffered tremendously from the vomiting. I am going to reach out and find a councilor soon, it's just so dang expensive :( It's easy to hide and feel ashamed of these actions.

I have autism and I forget to eat and drink all the time. My mum’s always had to remind me.

Dianne hasn’t got anorexia. You didn’t listen to the interview.

Good point, I’ve noticed in pics of them together how tiny Joe is… that can’t help Dianne’s mindset :(

I think it’s a good thing when people in the public eye choose to use their platform to raise awareness of important issues

Well she's recovered now, it happened before Strictly and before she met Joe. Who is Winnie Wallace and why do all of your comments start with that?

Wow imagine waving that red flag so high there bud

Define normal

No because everyone struggles

You’re not normal writing a comment like that

don’t think you’re normal for writing a comment like that

No she isn’t!

@@ainemcdonnell5202 oh okej and pigs can fly…. 😂
