If you think your child may have an eating disorder, you are not alone. These conditions affect many children, and at Mars & Venus Counseling Center, we can help!
There are a number of different types of eating disorders that affect millions of girls and boys. Some of the most common ones include: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. There are other less common ones as well. Our physicians are well versed in monitoring and detecting food-related disorders and can help you know what to look for to be able to flag a problem early and get the appropriate treatment.
Signs of Eating Disorders
If you suspect your child may be struggling with body image and/or a food disorder, pay attention to these signs and be sure to report what you see to your pediatrician.
These are just some of the signs you may notice. However, just noticing one or two of these, does not mean your child has an eating disorder. The important thing is to recognize changes in your child and discuss any concerns with your pediatrician as soon as you notice them.
If your child is suffering from an eating disorder, there is help. We can refer your son or daughter to a specialist and ensure your child is getting the best care. These are serious issues but there are experts that can help so your child does not have to suffer the mental and physical anguish of an eating disorder alone.
At Mars & Venus Counseling Center, we’re dedicated to providing the highest quality of skilled and compassionate care. For more information on our office and the many services that we provide, give us a call today.
