What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Eating Disorders?
Dual diagnosis treatment, also known as co-occurring disorder treatment, addresses both an eating disorder and another mental health or substance use disorder at the same time. Because these conditions often fuel one another, treating them together is critical for effective and sustainable recovery.
At Virtue Recovery, we offer personalized dual diagnosis care that combines evidence-based therapies, nutritional counseling, medical monitoring, and holistic practices to address the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.
Common Co-Occurring Disorders with Eating Disorders
Depression
Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest often overlaps with eating disorders. These symptoms can worsen disordered eating patterns and complicate recovery efforts.
Anxiety Disorders
Excessive worry or panic may lead to disordered eating patterns. Many clients use food behaviors to manage or mask their anxiety.
PTSD & Trauma
Past trauma can contribute to the development of an eating disorder. Flashbacks or emotional distress may trigger unhealthy coping mechanisms around food.
Substance Use Disorders
Alcohol or drug misuse may occur alongside disordered eating as a coping mechanism. This dual diagnosis can increase risks and make treatment more complex.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive thoughts and rituals can include food and body-related behaviors. These compulsions often fuel restrictive eating, bingeing, or purging cycles.
