Girl with eating disorderEating disorders affect around 30 million Americans at some point in their lives. Eating disorders are dangerous and potentially deadly conditions, which makes them a serious condition that needs to be dealt with promptly and with professionalism. At Corner Canyon Counseling, we have years of experience helping clients deal with eating disorders. With our help, many of them  have overcome their conditions and continued on to live healthy lives that are free from the dangerous burden of eating disorders.

What Are Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders are conditions related to frequent unhealthy eating behaviors. Eating disorders include any food-related abuse, which is why there are so many different kinds. Some of the most common eating disorders include:

  • Anorexia Nervosa is when a person restricts their calorie and food intake so much that they begin to lose an unhealthy amount of weight. In many people, it is caused by a distorted body image and a phobia of weight gain.
  • Bulimia nervosa is a cycle of bingeing and purging. Binging is when a person consumes an abnormal amount of food in a short time, often feeling like they have no control over how much or how quickly they eat. Purging is when a person induces vomiting, misuses laxatives, fasts, exercises excessively, or participates in other unhealthy activities to compensate for the large amount of food they ate.
  • Binge eating is characterized by eating unhealthy amounts of food at once, often to the point of discomfort. Usually, this is accompanied by a feeling of not being able to control how much or how quickly food is consumed.

Again, there are other forms of eating disorders, all of which are dangerous and should be treated before they result in serious injury or death. Any eating disorder can be dangerous and even deadly depending on its duration and severity. That is why it is so important that they are diagnosed and treated early. The earlier they are dealt with, the easier it is to treat them.
