Understanding Eating Disorders

  • What Are Eating Disorders?
    Eating disorders are mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy eating habits and an obsession with food, body weight, or shape.

  • Common Types:

    • Anorexia Nervosa: Extreme restriction of food intake, intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image.
    • Bulimia Nervosa: Cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as vomiting or excessive use of laxatives.
    • Binge Eating Disorder: Recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food with a sense of loss of control, without subsequent purging.
    • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Severe limitations in food intake, often driven by sensory issues or fear of adverse consequences.

  • Common Symptoms:

    • Extreme preoccupation with weight or body image
    • Significant weight loss or gain
    • Irregular eating patterns or avoidance of certain foods
    • Purging behaviors such as vomiting or excessive exercise
