Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive eating disorder are conditions that affect how a person feels about food, their body, and weight.
What is eating disorder
An eating disorder is a mental disorder that causes a person to have problems eating.
For example, he may eat a lot and find it difficult to stop, or, conversely, he doesn’t feel like eating for a long time.
What leads to eating disorder
It is difficult to name the exact causes of eating disorder, but most often it is psychological trauma or genetic predisposition.
The disorder can also arise due to social pressure. An example is the work of models and athletes.
Is it possible to overcome eating disorder
The diagnosis of eating disorder can only be made by a psychiatrist according to the appropriate criteria.
A psychologist, nutritionist and nutritionist do not have the right to make diagnoses, because this is not within their competence.
Nevertheless, they may suspect a disorder and refer the person to a doctor.
Fortunately, eating disorders can be cured.
And although it may take several months to several years from the start of therapy to complete recovery, it is still possible to cope with eating disorders.
