Types of Eating Disorders We Treat

Restriction of food intake, extreme weight loss, and distorted body image.

Bulimia Nervosa

Cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors.

Binge Eating Disorder

Frequent overeating episodes with feelings of shame or lack of control.

ARFID

Restrictive eating not tied to body image but still causing health issues

OSFED

Disordered eating patterns that don’t fit into one diagnosis but still require treatment.

Signs and Symptoms of Eating Disordersr

It’s normal for people to occasionally feel concerned about food choices, weight, or body image. However, when these concerns turn into persistent signs of an eating disorder, such as harmful eating habits, distress around food, or an unhealthy focus on weight, they go beyond everyday fluctuations.

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of eating disorders, including the nature, duration, and intensity of eating behaviors, is essential for knowing when professional support is needed. Eating disorders affect the mind and body in multiple ways, and these eating disorder signs may vary depending on the specific type of condition.

Feeling out of control during eating episodes .
Self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives, or diuretics.
Frequent trips to the bathroom after meals.
Swollen cheeks, sore throat, or dental issues from purging.

Consuming large amounts of food even when not hungry.
Eating until uncomfortably full.
