Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders come in various forms, each with its unique set of symptoms and challenges. Some common types include:

  • Anorexia nervosa: Characterized by severe restriction of food intake, intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. Individuals with anorexia may see themselves as overweight even when they are dangerously thin.
  • Bulimia nervosa: Characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by purging behaviors like vomiting, laxative abuse, or excessive exercise. Bulimia can also involve a distorted body image and preoccupation with weight and shape.
  • Binge-eating disorder: Characterized by repeated episodes of uncontrolled eating, consuming large amounts of food in a short period, often followed by feelings of shame, guilt, and distress. Unlike bulimia, binge-eating disorder doesn’t involve purging behaviors.
  • Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID): Characterized by avoidance of certain foods or textures due to sensory sensitivities, fear of choking, or other concerns. ARFID can lead to nutritional deficiencies and impact daily life significantly.
