Anorexia & Bulimia

Anorexia and bulimia are eating disorders that cause people to obsess about weight and what they eat. They are characterized by a distorted body image, with an unwarranted fear of being overweight. Symptoms include trying to maintain a below-normal weight through starvation or too much exercise. Medical treatment may be needed to restore a healthy weight. Often, therapy is the best way to work through these issues.​

Symptoms & Signs of Anorexia & Bulimia

In some patients, the symptoms of major depressive disorder are physiological responses to starvation and resolve as the patient restores their body weight during treatment.

"I am beginning to measure myself in strength, not pounds.  Sometimes in smiles.

- Laurie Halse Anderson
