Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that can have severe emotional, mental, and physical consequences. A preoccupation with weight and food can lead to an individual developing unhealthy habits, which, if untreated, can put their overall health at risk. A recent study found that up to 20 million women and 10 million men in the United States alone suffer from an eating disorder such as binge eating disorder or anorexia nervosa.
Symptoms of an eating disorder can manifest themselves in various ways, and the signs can differ depending on the disorder an individual may struggle with. However, common symptoms of an eating disorder include obsessing over food, weight, or body shape, food binges, purging behaviors, and severe restrictions of food. While eating disorders can affect anyone of any age, young women and adolescents are often most frequently reported. Moreover, patients with eating disorders often live with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and substance abuse.
Eating disorders can be debilitating, both physically and emotionally, and mentally. The pressure from culture and peers, mental illness, personality traits, and genetic factors can all contribute to someone developing an unhealthy relationship with food.
Patients with eating disorders require specialized care by trained professionals, incorporating medical, nutritional, and psychological support. Thanks to various evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and others, patients living with eating disorders can recover and achieve lasting physical and mental health.
