Signs and Symptoms of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can affect anyone: individuals of any age, ethnicity, race, gender, and socioeconomic status. The different types of eating disorders include:
How do I know if I have an eating disorder?
- Do you skip meals, limit calories, or cut out certain food groups?
- Do you spend a lot of time thinking about food or your behaviors to control what’s going on in your life?
- Do you spend most of your time thinking about, dealing with, or avoiding food rather than hanging out with your friends?
- Does your relationship with food or your body impact your ability to manage work, school, or relationships?
- Do you binge eat or emotionally eat?
- Do you use diuretics, laxatives, diet pills, or vomit in order to lose weight?
- Have other people told you that you are underweight when you feel like you are overweight?
- Do you sacrifice time with friends and family to exercise?
- Do most of your thoughts revolve around food and body image or your behaviors associated with food and weight?
