Activities are planned using a process that links identified needs with desired results.
CME Objective
After studying this article, you should be able to:
- Screen for night eating behaviors in teenagers and young adults with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or sleep disorders and those under stress
Statement of Need and Purpose
Night eating syndrome may develop during the late adolescent/young adult period. Young adults with depression, anxiety, other eating disorders, or sleep disorders and those under increased stress should be screened for night eating behaviors. Early treatment of depression can help prevent development of night eating syndrome. Those with night eating syndrome can be managed with cognitive-behavioral therapy or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Because the condition is often not diagnosed until adulthood when it is often accompanied by complications such as depression and overweight, practitioners need education about strategies to recognize and prevent or treat night eating syndrome closer to the time of onset.
