Mental Health Conditions
Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders affect people both physically and emotionally. Preoccupation with food and body image can lead to emotional suffering and serious medical consequences.
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that require compassionate, comprehensive care — and with the right support, recovery is possible.
Recognizing the Signs
Eating disorders affect the body and the mind — and reaching out for help is the first step toward healing.
Types of Eating Disorders
Treatment
Treatment for eating disorders involves a multidisciplinary team. You will work closely with your psychologist, psychiatrist, primary care doctor, and dietician throughout the recovery process.
While there are no medications that specifically treat anorexia or bulimia, medications may assist with treating underlying depression and anxiety symptoms that often accompany these conditions.
