Overview:<\/h3>\n

Food: Favorite or Forgotten? How Executive Functioning Impacts Eating Habits<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sara Hamilton, PsyD<\/strong><\/p>\n

This presentation will explore how executive functioning deficits\/differences (EFD) associated with ADHD, depression, and anxiety can impact eating habits resulting in disordered eating and eating disorders, which can then further impair executive functioning. The presentation will cover behaviors that can result from EFD, including overeating, undereating, and reliance on fast food (which can also then further impair executive functioning!). The impact of medications for these conditions on appetite will also be covered as many medications for these disorders are used for, or in spite of, their dramatic impact on appetite. I will also touch on the changes in attention span in different age groups in the general population over the past several years and how this may impact the eating habits of large groups of people for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

After this presentation, attendees will be able to identify:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Name at least 3 executive functioning skills that impact eating habits.<\/li>\n
  2. Identify 3 eating behaviors that may stem from executive functioning impairments.<\/li>\n
  3. Identify 3 psychiatric medications that may negatively impact eating behaviors in certain populations<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
