1. Eating Disorder – In-Patient and Out-Patient Service Provides

2. Eating Disorder Eating disorders are characterised by an abnormal attitude towards food that causes someone to change their eating habits and behaviour.  A person with an eating disorder focuses excessively on weight and shape, leading them to make unhealthy choices about food with damaging results to their health.

3. WHY ARE EATING DISORDERS DANGEROUS?

4. Eating disorders can do a lot of damage to your health. Eating disorders cause significant difficulties for those affected and their families. This includes social and relationship difficulties, mood difficulties such as depression and anxiety. Eating disorders also impact an individual’s physical health, including bone health, energy levels, menstruation and internal organs such as the heart.

5. TYPE Of EATING DISORDERS

6. Anorexia Nervosa  Anorexia is diagnosed in people whose eating difficulties involve an extremely restricted energy intake, whose weight is below 85% of what is expected for their height and age, and whose self-evaluation is heavily influenced by how they feel about their shape and weight.

7. Binge Eating Disorder (BED) Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is commonly known by compulsive overeating or consuming abnormal amounts of food while feeling unable to stop and a loss of control. Men and women suffering from BED struggle with emotions of disgust and guilt and often have a related co-morbidity, such as depression or anxiety.

8. Bulimia Bulimia Nervosa , commonly called as bulimia. Bulimia is a serious mental illness. It can affect anyone of any age ,gender or background. People with bulimia are caught in a cycle of eating large quantities of food (called bingeing), and then trying to compensate for that overeating by vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics, fasting, or exercising excessively (called purging).

9. Selective Eating Disorder (SED) Selective eating comes under the umbrella of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). More than 50% of eating disorders fall below the threshold for diagnosis as Anorexia or Bulimia or Binge Eating Disorder and fall into this spectrum of diagnoses. It is far more than just being a fussy eater; people with ARFID may have a phobia about certain foods, a very restricted diet, sensory aversions to certain tastes, textures or even swallowing.
