Eating Disorders
Wondering if you or someone you love has an eating disorder?
You may have Anorexia Nervosa if:
-You restrict food intake resulting in significantly low body weight
-You have an intense fear of gaining weight
-You are disturbed by your body weight/shape and evaluate yourself based on this
You may have Bulimia Nervosa if:
-You engage in recurrent episodes of binge eating and feel that you have a lack of control over the episodes
-You engage in compensatory behaviors (vomiting, use of laxatives, excessive exercise) to prevent weight gain
-You evaluate yourself based on your weight and body shape
You may have Binge-Eating Disorder if:
-You engage in recurrent episodes of binge eating and feel that you have a lack of control over the episodes
-During the binges you may eat more rapidly than normal, feel uncomfortably full, eat larger amounts when you're not hungry, eat alone because of the embarrassment, and/or feel disgust, depressed or guilty after
-You are distressed after the binge eating
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
Therefore, it is something to take very seriously.
