EATING DISORDERS

The hallmarks of eating disorders include severe and ongoing disruptions in eating behaviours, along with the troubling feelings and thoughts that go along with them. These can be extremely dangerous conditions that interfere with social, psychological, and bodily functions.

Eating disorders are medically significant illnesses that impact an individual's physical and mental well-being. These conditions include issues with your eating habits and thoughts on food, eating, weight, and form. Your capacity to operate in key areas of your life, as well as your health and emotions, may be impacted by these symptoms.

Anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder are the three most prevalent eating disorders. Most eating disorders involve focusing too much on weight, body shape and food. This can lead to dangerous eating behaviours. These behaviours can seriously affect the ability to get the nutrition your body needs. Eating disorders can harm the heart, digestive system, bones, teeth and mouth. They can lead to other diseases. They're also linked with depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts and behaviours.

With proper nutrition intervention, you can return to healthier eating habits and learn healthier ways to think about food and your body. You also may be able to reverse or reduce serious problems caused by the eating disorder.
