Who Suffers

From Eating Disorders

Eating disorders can affect people of all genders, ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
However, certain factors may increase the risk of developing an eating disorder, such as having a family history of eating disorders, experiencing trauma or abuse, or having certain personality traits, such as perfectionism or impulsivity.
Additionally, certain cultural and societal pressures, such as the emphasis on thinness in Western societies, may also contribute to the development of eating disorders.

It is possible to have an eating disorder even if you are not underweight. Eating disorders can manifest in a variety of ways and can affect people of all sizes and weights.

Some common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These disorders are characterized by abnormal patterns of eating and can lead to serious physical and mental health complications.

If you suspect you may have an eating disorder, it is important to seek help from a qualified healthcare professional.

Eating disorders can affect women, men, boys and girls. There is not a definitive cause for an eating disorder and their symptoms are extremely varied. If you feel worried or anxious about your relationship with food or your body; seek help. If you are feeling depressed and have difficulty in coping; seek help.

Conditions survive in shame secrecy and silence. People may become ashamed of themselves; tell themselves; they should be coping better. Self esteem begins to drop and they may start to isolate. Perhaps they have become dependent on alcohol or drugs. Nowadays many are experiencing financial ruin. Some may have lost a loved one: while others may have received a life changing diagnosis.
Whatever your situation: if you feel fearful or anxious about life and experience difficulty in coping: seek help.This thought might fill you with fear but remember change is about enhancing and improving quality of life
