If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, you’re not alone. Millions of people in the United States suffer from these conditions, which can have serious physical and mental health consequences. Fortunately, help is available. At Nao Medical, we offer compassionate and effective mental health services to help you overcome your struggles.
What Are Eating Disorders?
Eating disorders are a group of mental health conditions that involve unhealthy relationships with food and body image. They can take many forms, including:
- Anorexia nervosa, which involves severe calorie restriction and weight loss
- Bulimia nervosa, which involves binge eating followed by purging behaviors such as vomiting or laxative use
- Binge eating disorder, which involves frequent episodes of overeating without purging
- Other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), which includes a range of disordered eating behaviors that don’t fit into the other categories
Regardless of the specific diagnosis, eating disorders can have serious physical and mental health consequences. They can lead to malnutrition, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other medical complications. They can also cause depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
