Eating disorders develop when an individual has issues with low self esteem, negative thoughts of oneself, and fears social perceptions and judgement. Dealing with an eating disorder involves introspective effort, in-depth counseling, and dedication to making positive and healthy changes that support physical and mental health. Common types of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Understanding your thoughts, behaviors, specific condition, and treatment needs are necessary in order to overcome your eating disorder.
