What are eating disorders?
Eating disorders are serious conditions that affect your thoughts and behaviors around food and exercise. They tend to involve your body image too. 
The changes in your eating habits can easily affect your physical health and weight. Because of their potential to cause medical problems, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any category of mental health disorder. 
Fortunately, you can receive the personalized care you need for your eating disorder at Embracing Uncertainty Therapy and Wellness. Your provider evaluates your condition before recommending a treatment to improve your self-esteem and your relationship with food. 
What are the most common eating disorders?
Embracing Uncertainty Therapy and Wellness provides treatment for several of the most prevalent eating disorders, including: Anorexia nervosa; which is characterized by eating far less than your body needs because of a fear of gaining weight or a distorted body image. Many people with anorexia have a low body weight despite perceiving themselves to be overweight. However, it’s also possible to have anorexia with a high body weight. Bulimia nervosa, which is an eating disorder that causes episodes of binge eating coupled with behaviors of trying to lose weight or balance out what you’ve eaten, like vomiting, excessive exercise, fasting, or use of laxatives. Binge eating disorder; which is characterized by repeatedly consuming large amounts of food. This behavior feels like it’s outside of your control, and it’s difficult to stop yourself from binging without professional help.
