In contemporary times, we have witnessed a sharp rise in eating disorders . Bulimia, anorexia and binge eating are some of the worst eating disorders that can put the health and the mental balance of a person into disarray. Eating disorder treatment centers say that people who have these problems have a poor self image and go through various fears of gaining weight and looking undesirable. Let us look at Bulimia, a condition in which a person eats food excessively even though he/she is not hungry and then purges it due to feelings of guilt-this shows an addicted yet confused mindset that is often embroiled in stress and depression. Anorexia where a person suffers from severe weight loss is a condition in which a person shies away from eating even an extra morsel of food for fear of gaining weight. This also shows negative self-image. One thing to note is that one cannot really say that a person is anorexic because a person can be thin because of many reasons. Also you cannot say that every over-weight or pale looking person is a bulimic. People who have eating disorders do not show them, for once, they prefer to eat alone and do not like to show that they are neglecting food. However, some of the signs like eating less food consistently, talking too much about losing calories, finding excuses to avoid meals, going to the toilet during or after having a meal to purge food, creating an impression that she is eating by just tossing food around; are some of the signs you know that a person is suffering from an eating disorder apart from the obvious signs like pale, thin figure and lethargy. In case, you know that someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, make sure that you talk to him or her with due amount of sensitivity. Let them know that you understand what he/she is going through and that there is a solution to the stress and eating disorder she is suffering from. Tell the person not to go by circumstances and instead take actions to stop this problem from growing bigger to such an extent that something worse could happen to her health. You can recommend her to visit eating disorder inpatient rehabs that are known to effectively treat the problem. After getting the treatment, not only is the person able to bring about a positive change in herself, she is also able to understand how important it is to live to the fullest but by eating the right things. At the eating disorder rehab facility , due care and help is given in the form of counseling and guidance so that there is enough scope for a person to understand the value of various food products and how they can be useful to the body. There is regular health checkup and the eating habits are monitored properly so that the individual is known where she is going wrong. There are different sets of therapy like group therapy and individual therapy, besides stress management, counseling and preparing diet charts that can be very helpful for a good and fit lifestyle.
