The symptoms of an eating disorder may differ based on the unique individual and their specific form of eating disorder. Some of the possible symptoms of eating disorders include obsession with food and calories, dramatic weight loss or gain, over-exercising, purging, or eating a large quantity of food in a short period of time. These do not cover all the possible symptoms, but just some common ones.
Eating Disorders can have a variety of causes. Some of the common causes of eating disorders include trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. These mental health conditions can contribute to the presence and severity of eating disorder symptoms. There are also various risk factors. Ongoing cycles of dieting can be a major risk factor for eating disorders.
One of the most common forms of treatment for eating disorders is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In CBT, the therapist works with the individual to address any negative behavioral and thought patterns that may be contributing to the eating disorder. In some more severe cases, a therapist may recommend an inpatient treatment facility for around-the-clock care.
If you think you may have an eating disorder but don’t score highly on this test, it’s worth it to talk to a mental health professional. The symptoms of eating disorders may differ per person and the type of eating disorder. One ten-question quiz can not fully capture all the possible types of eating disorders and the symptoms associated with them. It is always best to reach out to a mental health professional for more support and information.
