Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and Eating Disorders Criteria (Nursing)

00:02 Let's take a minute just to review some of the criteria.

00:05 So, for a substance use disorder, the criteria are using that substance more than this intended, unsuccessful attempt to cut back on use for that substance, spending a lot of time using that substance, or recovering from the use of that substance.

00:25 Continuing to use the substance despite all the negative outcomes or consequences.

00:32 Making that substance the priority over all other activities and relationships.

00:39 Increasing the risk taking behaviors, during the using of the substance.

00:46 So a person who is using those substances now, doesn't care if they have to take extra risks, in order to be able to use or get those substances.

00:58 They'll continue to use the substance even if they can't remember what happened during the time that they were using.

01:07 They have tolerance.

01:09 They are starting to require more and more of that substance in order to obtain the desired effect.

01:16 And then when that substance is removed, they experience physical and mental withdraw.

02:42 The criteria for eating disorders is eating less than meets the body needs.

02:50 Unsuccessful attempt to increase food intake or to reduce food intake for those who are binging.

03:00 Spending a lot of time avoiding food, or recovering from illnesses resulting from purging, or spending a lot of time coveting and hoarding food to be able to hide it so you can binge.

03:16 Continuing to starve yourself despite the negative outcomes or consequences, or continuing to binge despite the negative outcome or consequence.

03:31 Prioritizing starvation over all other activities, or for bingers prioritizing the hoarding of food.

03:41 That would be the binger substance over all other activities.

03:47 Increasing their risk taking behaviors to avoid eating or to be discovered as avoidance of eating, or vomiting, or binging.

04:01 Continuing to purge even after the physical impact of purging has started.

04:08 Continuing to binge even when there are physical impacts to binging.

04:17 Requiring themselves to be thinner, and thinner, and thinner.

04:22 Subsequently eating less and less, and exercising more and more.

04:31 Having and experiencing physical illnesses when having to eat food.
