Eating Disorder Recovery at EDTC

Q: How do I know if I have an eating disorder?

Eating disorders are more than just dieting or body image concerns—they involve distress and unhealthy behaviors around food and can impact physical and emotional well-being. If you struggle with restricting food, binge eating, purging, or obsessive thoughts about food and weight, it may be time to seek professional support.

Q: Can eating disorders affect people of all body sizes?

Yes. Eating disorders don’t have a “look.” People of any weight, body type, gender, or age can develop an eating disorder. Weight alone is not an indicator of health, and serious medical complications can occur even if someone is not underweight.

Q: Are eating disorders only about food and weight?

No. While eating disorders involve food, they are often tied to deeper emotional struggles, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or a need for control. Recovery involves addressing both physical health and the underlying emotional triggers.

Q: What are the health risks of untreated eating disorders?

Eating disorders can cause serious, even life-threatening complications, including heart problems, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, weakened immunity, and long-term damage to organs and bones. Mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts are also common. Seeking treatment as soon as possible can help prevent long-term harm.

Q: Can eating disorders be treated successfully?

Yes! Eating disorders are treatable, and recovery is possible with the right support, medical care, and therapy. A combination of nutritional guidance, therapy, and emotional healing can help individuals develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
