Mental Health Eating Disorders

Overview

Mental health eating disorders are a group of psychological conditions which involve an unhealthy relationship with food and body image. These disorders involve intense emotions, thoughts, and behaviours surrounding food and body weight, which create physical and emotional problems, and interfere with an individual’s ability to interact with others and engage in daily activities. Eating disorders can be characterized by abnormal eating habits, extreme preoccupation with body shape and weight, and distorted body image. Common mental health eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other related disorders. Treatment of mental health eating disorders involve psychotherapy, nutrition therapy, and medication, depending on the individual’s needs. Early detection and intervention are important in the management of these disorders, as they can lead to serious health complications in severe cases.
