Treatable Not Terminal: Assisted Suicide for in Eating Disorders with Chelsea Roff and Catherine Cook-Cottone
Manage episode 433760836 series 3004577
Chelsea Roff, Founder and Director of Eat Breathe Thrive, has spent nearly a decade developing integrative health programs for mental health challenges, including a Yoga for Eating Disorders program, now the core of a seven-week intervention. She also leads the largest study on yoga for eating disorders and serves as UK Operations Director for The Give Back Yoga Foundation.
Catherine Cook-Cottone, Ph.D., a Licensed Psychologist and Professor at SUNY Buffalo, co-edits Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention and founded the nonprofit Yogis in Service. Her research focuses on embodied self-regulation and psychosocial disorders, with over 85 publications to her name.
Together, Chelsea and Catherine co-authored a study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry revealing that over 60 individuals with eating disorders have been euthanised or assisted in suicide by physicians, often without exhausting evidence-based treatments. They have issued a joint statement opposing medically assisted suicide for eating disorders, urging the healthcare community and broader society to stand against this practice and support recovery.
In this week's podcast, we discuss:
- The reasoning and inspiration for Chelsea and Catherine beginning their research into assisted dying in eating disorders.
- What is meant by "terminal anorexia" and how this is an inappropriate term to use for an eating disorder (aka not a terminal illness).
- The criteria required, in respective countries, for assisted dying.
- The understanding of why clinicians believe assisted dying may be the best outcome for their patients.
- The importance of sharing lived experiences and highlighting that full recovery is possible.
- The consequences of making this decision and the impact this can have.
