There’s Help For Your Eating Disorder

January 2, 2024

Living with an eating disorder is not pleasant for anyone afflicted by it. Not only does it have an unhealthy effect on that person’s quality of life, it can also deeply touch his or her family and friends. 

At the office of Mars & Venus Counseling Center, we help those with eating disorders and any other kind of mental-health issue with empathy, patience and a broad spectrum of knowledge. We tailor the healing to address each patient’s specific needs. You can rest assured that we’re committed to helping your condition with discretion, whatever its nature. 

There are three main types of eating disorders:

  • Bulimia nervosa, which is defined by repeated episodes of binge eating within a relatively short period of time. The massive food consumption is followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, and the misuse of laxatives or diuretics. 
  • Binge eating disorder is characterized by regular episodes of uncontrollable eating with feelings of loss of control. Many people also feel guilt, embarrassment and disgust.
  • Those with anorexia nervosa eat as little as possible, have an intense fear of gaining weight and are disturbed by their self-perceived weight or shape. They control food and weight as a means of controlling areas of their lives in which they feel out of control, or as a way of expressing complex or concerning emotions.

Common health consequences of eating disorders include malnutrition, erosion of dental enamel, electrolyte imbalances, heart damage, dry skin, anemia and injury to the gastrointestinal system. Personal consequences include an inability to fulfill daily obligations, a dramatic decrease in quality of life, and impairments to personal and professional relationships.

The ability to achieve wellness is much easier when people receive the support they need from a skilled and knowledgeable therapist. The office of Mars & Venus Counseling Center is dedicated to the care and comfort of every patient. We maintain a position at the forefront of advances in treatment and offer effective solutions. Please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment today.
