Recognizing Eating Disorders

Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, involve severe disruptions in eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions. These disorders can have serious health consequences if not treated appropriately.

Integrated Treatment Strategies

Treatment may involve nutritional management to restore and maintain healthy body weight, psychotherapy to address the psychological aspects of the disorder, and sometimes medications to treat accompanying anxiety or depression.
