The Link Between Eating Disorders and Mental Health

Eating disorders go beyond food—they are complex mental health conditions that can deeply affect self-esteem, physical health, and emotional well-being. Understanding these disorders is the first step toward recovery and restoring a healthy relationship with food and body image.

1. What Are Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders involve unhealthy patterns of eating, distorted body image, and often, extreme concern with weight or appearance. The most common types include:

  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Bulimia Nervosa
  • Binge Eating Disorder

2. The Emotional Toll of Eating Disorders

Beyond the physical risks, eating disorders often stem from or contribute to emotional struggles such as anxiety, depression, and low self-worth. Individuals may feel trapped in a cycle of guilt, secrecy, and unhealthy behaviors that affect every area of life.

3. Signs to Look Out For

Warning signs of eating disorders can include:

  • Drastic weight changes
  • Preoccupation with food, calories, or body image
  • Skipping meals or extreme dieting
  • Excessive exercise
  • Feelings of shame or guilt after eating
