Eating Disorders

The signs and symptoms of an eating disorder are different between different people, but can involve:  

• a restriction of food
• food binges
• purging behaviours such as vomiting or excessive exercising
• preoccupation with food, body weight or body shape

These factors can impact on physical, psychological and medical wellbeing. 

When should I see a health professional? 

It is important to have a discussion with a medical or mental health professional about what symptoms are being experienced so that an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan can be developed together.
