An eating disorder is a serious medical condition marked by severe disturbances in eating behaviors and the thoughts and emotions tied to them. It is a mental health condition, not a lifestyle choice or a phase. Eating disorders can affect people of any age, body weight, gender, or background, and they can damage the heart, digestive system, bones, and other organs when left untreated.
The main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Each involves a different pattern:
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is another type, in which a person limits the amount or kind of food they eat without the body-image concerns seen in anorexia.
Eating disorder symptoms show up in behavior, body, and mood. Common signs include:
Many people with an eating disorder do not look unwell, so behavior changes often signal the problem before physical signs do.
Eating disorders result from a mix of genetic, biological, psychological, and social factors rather than a single cause. A family history of eating disorders, anxiety, or depression raises risk, as do perfectionism, body-image pressure, and dieting that becomes more extreme over time. They often begin in the teen years or young adulthood, though they can start at any age.
Eating disorders are treated with a combination of psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medical care, tailored to the type and severity of the disorder. Talk therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, helps address the thoughts and behaviors driving the disorder. Treatment also includes a registered dietitian for nutritional counseling and ongoing medical care to monitor physical health and treat any complications. Some people benefit from medication for related conditions like anxiety or depression, and more severe cases may need a higher level of care. Recovery is possible, and early treatment improves the outcome.
The right professional will assess your symptoms, rule out medical complications, and build a treatment plan suited to you. Use Zocdoc to find eating disorder treatment near you and book a visit based on your insurance and availability.
