Eating Disorders

Eating Disorders Everybody eats. We do so both because we need to and because we enjoy it. However, as with all human behavior, there are huge differences between people. Some eat more, some eat less, some put on weight easily, and others do not. And some people go to such extremes that they harm themselves, by eating too much or too little. As a result they may harm their health and come to the attention …

…family problems, etc. Only if these simple steps do not work, or if the weight loss threatens life, is admission to hospital usually considered. In-patient treatment consists of much the same combination of dietary control and talking, only in a much more structured environment. Eating disorders are serious illnesses. Illnesses that can kill easily. If you or anyone you know has an eating disorder, remember…you need to get help before it is too late.
