Eating Disorders
Maybe your teen is driven to lose weight and intensely afraid of
gaining, bound by harsh, rigid rules. No matter how much weight she loses, it's
never enough.
She may have started out just eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, but at some point, the urge to eat less or more spiraled out of control.
As a specialist in treating teenagers with Eating Disorders, I can help your daughter find and HEAL the hidden causes of her eating disorder.
Call (949) 395-7161 today for a free phone consultation.
Having an Eating Disorder is much more than just being on a diet.
An Eating Disorder is an illness that permeates all aspects of each sufferer's life, is caused by a variety of factors and influences, and has profound effects on the people suffering and their loved ones.

Having an Eating Disorder is much more than just being on a diet.
An Eating Disorder is an illness that permeates all aspects of each sufferer's life, is caused by a variety of factors and influences, and has profound effects on the people suffering and their loved ones.
An eating disorder is marked by extremes, such as extreme
reduction of food intake or extreme overeating, or feelings of extreme distress
or concern about body weight or shape.
The two main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. A third category is "eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS)," which includes several variations of eating disorders. Most of these disorders are similar to anorexia or bulimia but with slightly different characteristics. Binge-eating disorder, which has received increasing research and media attention in recent years, is one type of EDNOS.
Eating disorders frequently appear during adolescence or young adulthood, but some reports indicate that they can develop during childhood or later in adulthood.
Women and girls are much more likely than males to develop an eating disorder. Men and boys account for an estimated 5 to 15 percent of patients with anorexia or bulimia and an estimated 35 percent of those with binge-eating disorder.
Eating Disorder treatment is tailored to meet your individual needs. Your treatment may include medical care and monitoring; medications; nutritional counseling; and individual, group and/or family psychotherapy. Some patients may also need to be hospitalized to treat malnutrition or to gain weight, or for other reasons.
While eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses, there is help available and recovery is possible.

Recovery is possible!
