Eating Disorders
Psychiatric care for restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, and distressing thoughts about food, weight, or body image.
Overview of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are serious health conditions, not choices or diets. They may involve restriction, binge eating, purging, compulsive exercise, intense body image distress, or a combination of behaviors.
Because eating disorders can affect the heart, metabolism, and other organs, psychiatric care should be coordinated with medical and nutrition professionals.
Common symptoms
- Restricting food or skipping meals
- Binge eating or feeling out of control around food
- Purging or compensatory exercise
- Intense fear of weight gain
- Preoccupation with food, weight, or body shape
- Dizziness, weakness, or major weight changes
How it can affect daily life
Thoughts and routines around food can take over social life, school, work, finances, and physical health. Shame often delays care.
When to seek professional help
- Eating behaviors or body concerns are taking over daily life
- There is rapid weight change, fainting, weakness, chest symptoms, or dehydration
- Purging, severe restriction, or thoughts of self harm are present
