The Ultimate Eating Disorder Guide Ever!

• An eating disorder is mainly when you have an
  unhealthy attitude to food, which can take over
  your life and make you ill. So, it can involve
  eating too much or too little, or becoming
  obsessed with your weight and body shape.

Types Of Eating Disorders

• The most common eating disorders are
• anorexia nervosa when you always try to keep
  your weight as low as possible by not eating
  enough food, exercising too much, or both
• bulimia when you mainly lose control over
  eating a lot of food in a very short amount of
  time (binging) and are then deliberately sick,
  use laxatives, restrict what bad you eat, or do
  too much exercise to try to stop yourself gaining
  weight
• binge eating disorder (BED) when you mainly
  lose control over eating, eat large portions of
  food all at once until you feel uncomfortably
  full, and are then often upset or guilty
• other specified feeding or eating disorder
  (OSFED) mainly when your symptoms do not
  exactly match those of anorexia symptoms, bulimia
  or compulsive overeating disorder, but it does
  not mean it's a less serious illness

Getting Help For An Eating Disorder

• If you really think you may have an eating
  disorder, even if you're not sure, see a GP as
  soon as you can. They'll ask you questions about
  your eating habits and how you're feeling, and
  will check your overall health and weight. If
  they think you may have an eating disorder, they
  should refer you to an eating disorder doctors or
  team of specialists.

Treatment For Eating Disorders

• You can easily recover from an eating disorder,
  but it may take time and recovery will be
  different for everyone. After being referred to
  an eating disorder clinic or team of specialists,
  they'll be responsible for your care.
• They should mainly talk to you about any other
  support you might need, such as for other mental
  or physical health conditions you have, and
  include this in your treatment plan.

• Treatment will always be different depending on
  the type of eating disorder you have, but will
  usually involve some kind of talking therapy.
• You may also need regular health checks if youre
  eating disorder is having an impact on your
  physical health.
• It may also involve working through a guided
  self-help eating disorder programs if you have
  bulimia or binge eating disorder.
