Everything You Need to Know About Eating Disorder
What is an Eating Disorder?
An eating disorder can lead to abnormal eating habits, characterized by consuming excessive or insufficient amounts of food that do not align with the body’s nutritional requirements for optimal health. Over time, the habit becomes stronger than your will to control it, potentially influenced by distorted beliefs and societal pressures related to body image, beauty, and weight.
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating or body image issues can be linked to experience of depression, anxiety, confusion and emotional torment. Often with eating disorders there can be an internal battle between the part of you that wants to recover and the part that doesn’t.
What Causes Eating Disorder?
The factors that lead to the development of an eating disorder are complex. They involve a range of biological, psychological and other mental health conditions, there may be different causes, such as:
- Biological and genetic risk factors. Some people may have genes that increase their risk of developing eating disorder.
- Family history. Eating disorder is more likely to occur in people who have parents or siblings who’ve had an eating disorder.
- Dieting and starvation. Frequent dieting is a risk factor for an eating disorder, especially with weight that is constantly going up and down when getting on and off new diets.
- A history of weight bullying. People who have been teased or bullied for their weight are more likely to develop problems with eating disorder.
- Other mental health issues. Trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental health issues can increase the likelihood of an eating disorder.
What are the Symptoms of Eating Disorder?
Symptoms vary, depending on the type of eating disorder. Anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating disorder are the most common eating disorders. People with eating disorders can have all different body types and sizes.

Binge eating or impulses to binge is where eating may be fast and not enjoyable or social, when not even hungry, but without purging or compensatory behaviours.
