What is disordered eating?
Disordered eating is a broad term that describes a range of irregular eating habits and behaviours. That can include the diagnosis of eating disorders such as overeating, anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder or bulimia.
These behaviours can impact your physical and mental health. Know that, while disordered eating is a serious issue, everyone deserves to have support as they work to overcome it. Counsellors offer effective and proven treatment options that can help you make positive changes related to food and eating.
Symptoms of disordered eating
Symptoms of disordered eating can include frequent dieting, a feeling of lost control around food and eating, anxiety surrounding eating, overeating and rigid eating rituals. These symptoms can affect you physically, as well as emotionally, socially, and professionally.
If some of these symptoms sound familiar, remember that help is available. You have the power to access support from a counsellor, social workers, or psychotherapist registered in Canada.
How can disordered eating be addressed?
If you’re struggling with disordered eating, we recommend speaking with a doctor or mental health professional. They can help establish a recovery plan.
Specialized disordered eating counselling can lead to a lasting and positive change. For example, counselling for bulimia and anorexia takes the unique nature of those conditions into account, supporting more specific treatment options.
Common types of therapy for disorder eating include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Medication and nutrition counselling from registered dieticians are also common — and are often a valuable asset.
How we can help
We believe that everyone should have access to registered counsellors to support their mental health. With online therapy, you don’t need to worry about finding a local counsellor who’s taking new patients, or managing the logistics of going to and from each appointment.
Wellin5's counsellors provide online counselling for anyone, anywhere in Canada. They’re equipped to support you with disordered eating and other day-to-day issues.
