Self-Assessment: Eating Disorders

Eating Disorders come in many forms. On one end there are over-eating disorders such as Bulimia and Binge Eating. On the other hand is Anorexia. Almost 10% of the population will experience an eating disorder at some point in their lives.

Do you want to check how bad is your emotional eating?

While only a professional can provide an official diagnosis, this simple tool can provide you with a ballpark rating for the severity of your symptoms.

Simply rate each item according to the extent to which you are experiencing that symptom over the last week weeks or months, including today. If more than one option seems appropriate, choose the more severe option.
