To help to understand the different types of eating disordered treated at Philippe Jacquet & Associates, the following brief explanations will be helpful for individuals and family members.
Eating Disorder Colchester : Anorexia Nervosa
Most people have heard of anorexia. It is the most life-threatening eating disorder Colchester, although all can be dangerous and have the potential to cause serious injury or death through complications and concurrent health issues.
Anorexia is the extreme limiting of food intake often combined with extreme measures to burn off calories. This can include unhealthy and excessive amounts of exercise combined with taking in just hundreds of calories a day or prolonged fasting.
At the same time, these individuals will see themselves as still imperfect, heavy and overweight, despite their often-skeletal appearance.
Bulimia For Eating disorder Colchester
Bulimia is sometimes called the binge and purge disorder and involves multiple components. The individual often is on a restricted diet but then, in secret, binges on very high levels of fats, carbs and sugar-filled foods.
Typically, immediately after the binge, the individual will begin to purge. This purging can include self-inducing vomiting, using laxatives and diuretics as well as excessive exercise.
Often, those individuals with bulimia will be of average weight to overweight. They also have a false view of their body and often struggle with extreme feelings of guilt, shame and even anxiety about their eating disorder Colchester.
Binge Eating
Binge eating is not the same as bulimia as there is no purging. However, the rapid intake of high levels of calories is extremely dangerous. The depression and anxiety that often accompanies this disorder can be significant and devastating.
Individuals that have a binge eating disorder are aware of their behaviour and feel powerless and out of control. This leads to feelings of being helpless, creating low self-esteem that can be a trigger for the next binge episode.
Many individuals will have a combination of symptoms or identifiers for eating disorders. It is not necessary to have a specific diagnosis to seek treatment in counselling and therapy from Philippe Jacquet.
