Body image is the mental representation that one creates in their mind, but it may or may not relate to how others see an individual. A distorted view of the body can impact people across different cultures, genders, and ages. Online Eating Disorder Counseling Florida provides compassionate support to help individuals address body image concerns, improve self-esteem, and develop healthier relationships with food. According to ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders), about 30 million Americans suffer from some sort of eating disorder. Eating disorders hold a record for having the highest mortality rate when compared to other mental illnesses; someone dies of an eating disorder every 62 minutes.

Types of Eating Disorders Supported Through Therapy

There are copious numbers of eating disorders and, unfortunately, the statistics mentioned above don’t begin to scratch the surface. Here are few examples of eating disorders:  

  • Anorexia Nervosa: People reduce the amount of energy intake required for their weight, age, gender, development and physical health.
  • Bulimia Nervosa: Individuals consume large amounts of food, and then induce themselves to vomit to stop weight gain.
  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Eating large amounts of food in small periods of time.
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) 14: Children are not just finicky when it comes to this disorder, but they become malnourished because they restrict themselves from eating certain foods.
  • Diabulimia: People with Type 1 diabetes purposely underuse insulin to control their weight.

Treatment Methods

Like other mental health conditions, eating disorder care should involve a diverse team of experts. Eating Disorder Therapy Florida helps individuals receive personalized support from qualified professionals to manage symptoms and work toward recovery. It’s recommended that professional caretakers include the following:

  • Psychologist
  • Psychiatrist
  • Social worker
  • Nutritionist
  • Primary care physician

Due to the serious impact eating disorders can have on physical and emotional health, Eating Disorder Counseling Services Florida may include psychological therapy, nutritional guidance, and ongoing support to help individuals achieve long-term recovery. It’s also important, if possible, to incorporate family therapy and support groups. Family-Based Treatment, according to NEDA, is a method used for patients who are minors.

In severe cases, inpatient care may be necessary; the person suffering from the eating disorder will be hospitalized or placed in residential care.
