An Evolutionary Perspective of Anorexia Nervosa (Adapted to Flee Famine Hypothesis PART 1)
I am SO excited to be starting a 7-part series all about the Adapted to Flee Famine Hypothesis! A theory by Clinical Psychologist & Evolutionary Biologist Dr. Shan Guisinger, the AFFH takes an evolutionary perspective of Anorexia Nervosa. In this first episode, you'll learn:
- Why the current definition of Anorexia Nervosa is not comprehensive
- Why the current stereotype of Anorexia leads to not feeling "sick enough"
- My own story with the Anorexia stereotype
- A brief overview of the Adapted to Flee Famine Hypothesis (AFFH)
- How illnesses can be seen from different analytical perspectives
