This quiz can’t replace a clinical diagnosis. If you believe you might have an eating disorder or another condition after taking this test, consider reaching out to a qualified professional about your symptoms.
Despite media depiction, eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexuality, or body weight.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), an estimated 30 million U.S. adults will have an eating disorder at some point in their lives.
Eating disorders can affect your mental and physical health, as well as influence your behaviors around food and body image.
There are different types of eating disorders, each with its own unique symptoms. Common types of eating disorders include:
- anorexia nervosa is a condition marked by restricting how much food you eat
- bulimia nervosa involves binge eating and purging or non-purging (fasting or obsessively exercising) behaviors
- binge eating disorder involves eating large amounts of food and feeling like you can’t stop
- avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a condition that involves restricting the amount and type of food you eat
- pica involves eating things that aren’t food such as paint
- rumination disorder is a condition marked by rechewing, reswallowing, or spitting out your food
The type of eating disorder you have will determine the type of treatment that’s best for you.
This brief, time-saving questionnaire is designed for anyone who thinks they may be living with an eating disorder.
The items below will help you determine whether you may need additional help navigating a condition.
A mental health professional can also help figure out if your issues might be a symptom of another condition or recommend treatment or other interventions if needed.
This online screening is not a definitive screening tool. However, it can be useful if you’re concerned about your eating habits and body image and want to determine if seeking out professional support is the next best step for you.
Only a trained medical professional, such as a healthcare or mental health professional, can help you determine the next best steps for you.
