Eating Disorders Treatment
Eating disorders affect millions of individuals and can manifest in various ways, from restrictive eating and over-exercising to binge eating and purging behaviors. These disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and others, often stem from deeper emotional and psychological issues related to body image, self-worth, and control.
Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are complex and can be driven by a range of emotional, social, and biological factors. Common types include:
- Anorexia Nervosa: Characterized by extreme restriction of food intake, intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image.
- Bulimia Nervosa: Involves cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors like purging, fasting, or excessive exercise.
- Binge Eating Disorder: Recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food, often quickly and to the point of discomfort, without the regular use of purging behaviors.
