Most times, when we eat, we’re doing so under the compulsion of hunger, which is ideal for the body. But we may eat when we don’t feel hungry; it could be the tiny temptation of your favorite tacos or night cookies. You may eat them because of excitement, to celebrate a moment, or to escape from some unexplainable emotional emptiness.
When you consistently eat within these unusual impulses over a long time, you’re not eating healthy. You may have an eating disorder and to seek eating disorder treatment. Eating disorders refer to a group of emotional or psychological patterns that interfere with eating healthily.
Possible Risks and Dangers
You may start to eat too much or too little or overeat a particular type of food, lacking the necessary nutrients, which leads to underweight or overweight issues. You could also find yourself helplessly eating late at night because that’s when you feel hungry most or at all. The physical symptoms may worsen the underlying psychological issues that formed the habit in the first place.
Although they’re all rooted in psychological dysfunction, eating disorders vary in their causes, risks, and treatment. There’s a risk of death in the worst cases like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and pica. Are you considering an eating disorder recovery? Here’s an overview of our eating disorder treatment.
