Types of Eating Disorders & Recognising the Signs
Eating Disorders
An eating disorder is a mental illness, more than just a diet, and can take over a person’s life and the lives of those around them. While unhealthy eating behaviour is involved, they aren’t solely about food, instead they are about control or coping with something else.
Eating disorders do not always present themselves as a significant loss of weight, those of a normal or higher BMI can have abnormal attitude or behaviour towards food. Someone with an eating disorder may be very focused on their weight or shape, or make unhealthy choices which could lead to damaging results physically, psychologically and socially. – Hannah Burton, Therapy Partners
