Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating

​

Eating Disorders are complex illnesses that can affect all genders, typically beginning in the teen years often as a consequence of depression and anxiety. Curated Mental Health Providers specialize in the care of adolescents and adults with all types of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating.

 

Talk therapy for eating disorders is focused on helping patients identify and work through root causes of eating disorders. Once patients develop clarity over the disease and what’s maintaining it, Curated Mental Health Clinical Staff use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients recognize unhealthy habits and redevelop a positive and appropriate perspective toward food and weight. Treatment focus emphasizes on realistic body image, self-appreciation, and self-worth.

 

Those with eating disorders may struggle with:

• Mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, social phobias, and low self-esteem

• Body image distortion and body dissatisfaction

• Shame, guilt, embarrassment, and severe distress

• A relentless pursuit of thinness and unwillingness to maintain a healthy weight (emaciation)

• Extreme dieting and obsessive exercise as an unhealthy compensatory measure

• Compulsive overeating and lack of control over it

• Intestinal distress and irritation due to laxative abuse

• Severe dehydration from purging of fluids

• Electrolyte imbalance which leads to stroke or heart attack

 

Curated Mental Health Providers understand that treatment and recovery from such disorders and management of its symptoms is a multi-layered, long-term commitment. With the support of FDA and APA approved interventions, we help our patients take productive and effective steps toward breaking the cycle of self-harm and unhealthy food management patterns. Our therapies are highly effective in helping patients manage extreme emotions regarding weight and food and become more self-assured and confident.
