What are Eating Disorders?
Eating Disorders are serious mental health conditions that involve unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and self-perception. They can affect physical health, emotional well-being, and daily functioning. Common eating disorders include:
- Anorexia Nervosa – restrictive eating and fear of weight gain
- Bulimia Nervosa – binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors like purging
- Binge Eating Disorder – recurrent episodes of overeating without compensatory behaviors
- Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED) – disordered eating patterns not fitting classic diagnoses
Eating disorders often co-occur with anxiety, depression, or trauma, and require evidence-based, neuroscience-informed interventions for effective recovery.
Who struggles with Eating Disorders?
Eating disorders can affect individuals of any age, gender, or background, though they are more common among adolescents and young adults. Risk factors include:
- Societal pressure around body image and appearance
- Trauma or adverse childhood experiences
- Perfectionism, low self-esteem, or anxiety
- Genetic or biological predispositions
Without proper treatment, eating disorders can lead to serious physical health complications, emotional distress, and impaired quality of life.
