Understanding Eating Disorders
There are 3 different types of eating disorders. The first and most common throughout the U.S. is anorexia nervosa. This type of eating disorder controls your food intake and weight so much that it leads to an obsession, causing brain and other organ damage.
The second most common eating disorder is bulimia nervosa; forces you to eat large amounts of food at once, later expelling it through exercise, vomiting or laxatives. This causes tooth decay, dehydration, and other serious health problems.
Last but not least is binge-eating disorder. This disorder is a loss of control with eating leading to obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease. In order to better understand how an eating disorder affects your body and how you can distinguish the different types of eating disorders.
Seeking Eating Disorder Therapy
Now that you have a basic understanding of how an eating disorder affects the mind, body, and soul, the most important step to recovery is asking for help. You cannot do it alone.
An eating disorder can tear your life apart. By not seeking help you are letting your disorder control your health, social life, and family life. Your work or school work will suffer along with your sense of worth; bringing conflicting thoughts and feelings that start to leave you ashamed and embarrassed.
