What Is Anorexia?
Anorexia nervosa, commonly referred to as just “anorexia” is a life-threatening disorder that is typically characterized by extreme weight loss which can be attributed to self-starvation. Dangerous health problems and even death can occur due to starvation and extreme weight loss.
About Bulimia
Bulimia nervosa, more commonly referred to as bulimia is another form of eating disorder most often characterized by episodes of consuming large amounts of food followed by fasting, vomiting, laxatives, enemas, diuretics and even excessive exercising.
What Is Binge Eating Disorder?
While the other eating disorders revolve around weight loss, binge eating disorder is characterized by continuous eating with a feeling that the patient cannot stop. Patients may continue to consume food when not even hungry. Unlike bulimia, those with binge eating disorder do not purge or attempt extreme weight loss.
DURHAM Eating Disorder Treatment
With eating disorder treatment, having a team of professionals is often important. Patients should work with a team of mental health professionals, dietitians and even medical professionals to ensure the best outcome. Medication may be used in certain cases depending upon the exact situation, with psychotherapy also being highly recommended for the patient. In some cases, patients may be referred to other medical professionals for more in-depth care.
