Eating Disorders

The most common forms of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. There is a commonly held misconception that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice.

People with eating disorders often see themselves as being ‘’fat and ugly”. Eating disorders are actually serious and often fatal illnesses if left untreated. 

Eating disorders commonly co-exist with other conditions such as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders Because of the complexities and severity of eating disorders a comprehensive evaluation and treatment is warranted which may involve nutritionists, therapists, and general physicians under the supervision of an experienced psychiatrist. Treatment involves medications, therapy and nutrition monitoring.
