Eating Disorders
In the last 10 years America has witnessed both a staggering increase in eating disorders (especially among young women) and a major public health epidemic in the form of obesity (starting in childhood). A number of eating disorders have been delineated and include:
- Restricted eating patterns (e.g. anorexia)
- Binge purge syndromes
- Binge disorders
- Obesity
Recent research has highlighted the necessity of treatment. Fortunately treatments have become increasingly comprehensive and address multiple dimensions including body image. We work closely with nutritionists.
