Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that affect how individuals think about food, body image, and overall well-being. They often develop as a way to cope with emotions or difficult life experiences and can impactpeople of all ages, though they are most common in teens and young adults. At Stewart Memorial, we recognize the complexity of eating disorders and offer compassionate, individualized care to support recovery and long-term wellness.
Common Types of Eating Disorders:
- Anorexia nervosa: Restricting food intake or over-exercising to control weight
- Bulimia: Cycles of overeating followed by behaviors to prevent weight gain
- Binge eating disorder: Consuming large amounts of food in a short time
- ARFID and OSFED: Eating challenges that don’t fit traditional categories but still require care and support
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For:
- Preoccupation with weight, body shape, or food
- Avoiding meals or eating in social settings
- Extreme dieting, overeating, or purging behaviors
- Changes in mood, including anxiety, depression, or withdrawal
- Physical symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or digestive issues
