Eating Disorder Treatment

A Multidisciplinary Approach

It's crucial to identify the right type of treatment for an eating disorder, which varies depending on the specific disorder and its symptoms. Generally, treatment involves a combination of talk therapy (psychotherapy), medical monitoring, nutrition education, and sometimes medication.


Psychotherapy or talk therapy, is an important part of treating eating disorders requiring regular sessions with a mental health provider who has specialized training in eating disorder care. The duration of therapy can range from a few months to several years and may involve various therapeutic techniques.


Likewise, nutrition counseling is a continuous part of eating disorder treatment. In this process, a health professional, usually a registered dietitian, assesses an individual's typical dietary intake and identifies areas that require change. The nutrition counselor offers information, educational materials, support, and follow-up to assist the individual in making and sustaining the necessary dietary adjustments. 

Our Services

ELLAD Preventative Health has a philosophy based on a holistic and personalized approach to healthcare, focusing on care, health, illness, and well-being. We prioritize a comprehensive approach to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our multidisciplinary approach addresses medical, psychosocial, nutritional, and physical aspects of wellness, offering the highest standard of care.

Eating Disorders

What Are Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious and potentially fatal illnesses characterized by profound disruptions in individuals' eating behaviors and associated thoughts and emotions. A fixation on food, body weight, and shape can be indicative of an eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are common types of eating disorders.

Types Of Eating Disorders

Anorexia Nervosa

Binge-Eating Disorder

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is a condition in which individuals purposefully avoid food, severely restrict their food intake, or consume very small amounts of only specific foods. They also tend to repeatedly weigh themselves, and even when they are dangerously underweight, they may perceive themselves as being overweight. There are two subtypes of anorexia nervosa: a restrictive and a binge-purge subtype.

Bulimia Nervosa

Binge-Eating Disorder

Anorexia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming unusually large amounts of food and feeling a lack of control over these eating episodes. This binge-eating behavior is then followed by compensatory actions such as forced vomiting, overuse of laxatives or diuretics, fasting, excessive exercise, or a combination of these behaviors. Individuals with bulimia nervosa may have a body weight that is slightly below, within, or above the normal range.

Binge-Eating Disorder

Binge-Eating Disorder

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Binge-eating disorder is a condition characterized by a loss of control over eating and recurring episodes of consuming large amounts of food. Unlike bulimia nervosa, individuals with binge-eating disorder do not follow periods of binge-eating with purging, excessive exercise, or fasting. Consequently, people with this disorder often struggle with being overweight or obese. Binge-eating disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States.

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorder

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a condition characterized by limited food intake in quantity and variety. Individuals with ARFID do not have a distorted body image or an intense fear of gaining weight. This disorder is most prevalent in middle childhood and typically manifests earlier than other eating disorders. A child with ARFID consumes insufficient calories for proper growth and development, and an adult with ARFID does not consume enough calories to maintain basic bodily functions.

Diabulimia

Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorder

Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorder

Diabulimia is a term that describes a dangerous combination of diabetes management and eating disorder symptoms. It involves intentionally reducing or omitting insulin doses by individuals with Type 1 diabetes to control body weight or shape. This behavior reflects a form of disordered eating where individuals prioritize weight loss or body image over proper diabetes management

Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorder

Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorder

Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorder

Individuals with Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED) may exhibit numerous symptoms associated with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder without meeting the complete diagnostic criteria for these specific disorders. It's important to note that the severity and danger of the eating disorder should not be underestimated.

More About Eating Disorders

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, there is a widespread misconception that eating disorders are a choice of lifestyle. However, in reality, eating disorders are serious and potentially fatal illnesses that are linked with severe disturbances in eating behaviors as well as related thoughts and emotions. A preoccupation with food, body weight, and shape may also be a sign of an eating disorder.
