UNDERSTANDING

Understand the Different Types of Eating Disorders

What are the Types of Eating Disorders?

The DSM 5 defines an eating disorder as "characterized by a persistent disturbance of eating or eating-related behaviors that results in the altered consumption or avoidance of food. The disturbance must result in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning."

There are many different types of eating disorders, but some of the most commonly treated types include:

Anorexia nervosa

This type of eating disorder is characterized by restrictive dieting and an intense fear of gaining weight. People suffering from anorexia will practically starve themselves out of fear that eating anything will cause them to gain weight.

Bulimia nervosa

This type of eating disorder is characterized by binge eating followed by purging. Similarly to anorexia, people suffering from bulimia are afraid of gaining weight. However, instead of restricting their food intake, they eat normally and then force themselves to throw up afterward.

Binge eating disorder

This type of eating disorder is characterized by binge eating without purging. Binge eaters are not afraid of gaining weight. They will experience "binge episodes" where they eat immense amounts of food.

Depression

Depression can be overwhelming. Our highly educated, trained psychiatrists provide treatment for those with clinical depression who are in need of a treatment program.

Anxiety

Satori Health’s anxiety treatment program restores equilibrium and helps people heal from anxiety disorders by identifying the underlying causes of the anxiety.

Bipolar Diorder

Bipolar disorder causes intense shifts in an individual’s thoughts, behavior, and energy. With our effective bipolar disorder treatment program, a healthy, stable life is within reach.

CAUSES

The Statistics

Eating Disorder Statistics

Before we get into the warning signs of eating disorders, let’s take a closer look at some statistics. According to a 2007 research study of around 9,000 people, 20 million women and ten million men in America will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Of these people, only one in ten will receive treatment.

What are the Dangers of an Untreated Eating Disorder?

One of the most dangerous things about eating disorders is that they often go untreated, and this is because many people are ashamed or embarrassed to seek help for their condition. However, it is important to remember that eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that require professional support and treatment to recover.

Some of the dangers of an untreated eating disorder include the following:

  • Malnutrition: Typically, malnutrition is a condition that can occur when someone does not get enough nutrients, and it can lead to organ damage, weakness, and even death.
  • Dehydration: Similarly, dehydration is a condition that can occur when someone does not get enough fluids, and it can cause dizziness, confusion, and even death.
  • Electrolyte imbalance: Finally, an electrolyte imbalance is a condition that can occur when someone has an imbalance of electrolytes in their body. It can cause painful muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, and even death in the most extreme cases.
