An eating disorder is a psychological condition that manifests itself in unhealthy eating habits or consumption of food. Eating disorders have serious emotional and physical effects. However, with effective eating disorder treatment programs, recovery is possible.

Eating disorder treatment programs address disturbances in an individual's eating behavior, such as:

• Not eating enough
• Repeatedly eating too much in a short period of time
• Taking drastic measures to rid the body of calories consumed (purging through vomiting, overuse of diuretics or laxatives, excessive exercise or fasting)

An eating disorder should not be defined by how much a person weighs or what he or she eats; there are many people of normal weight with eating disorders. An eating disorder is really best defined by the quality of one's thinking as it relates to food and weight. An eating disorder is a serious psychiatric condition that, if left untreated, can result in the deterioration of one's life and even death.

Eating disorders generally fall into three categories: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating. All of these disorders require eating disorder treatment programs. Regardless of the type of eating disorder, people are generally focused on food, specific weight and distorted body image.

You might think that your efforts to control your eating are a healthy way to achieve the body you want, but if your eating habits consume your thoughts and dictate your social activities, you have developed an eating disorder and are in need of eating disorder treatment programs.
