Eating Disorders Treatment

Eating Disorders

Counselling

As a clinical dietitian, my interest in eating disorders began when I realized how many people suffering from these illnesses go unnoticed in the Middle East.
In 2012, I got certified as an Eating Disorder Practitioner from NCFED, UK, and have been counseling in this field ever since.
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorders are not a choice, they are complex mental illnesses that can affect men and women of all ages and races. They are characterized by abnormal eating habits that involve extreme worry about eating, body shape, and weight, as well as disordered behaviors such as restriction or vomiting. Most often, eating disorders aren’t just about food but rather a way to cope with emotions or trauma.
The good news is they can be treated with the right approach and multidisciplinary team that usually involves a GP, a psychologist, and a dietitian.

Anorexia Nervosa

A complex mental illness that leads to an obsession with appearance and a fear of gaining weight, which can lead to the development of unhealthy eating behaviors and lifestyle changes.

Bulimia

An emotional disorder characterized by a distorted body image and an obsessive desire to lose weight, in which bouts of extreme overeating are followed by fasting or self-induced vomiting or purging.

Binge Eating Disorder

An eating disorder characterized by frequent and recurrent binge eating episodes with associated negative psychological and social problems, but without subsequent purging episodes, such as vomiting.

AFRID

An eating disorder that is characterized by a persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and energy needs, which can lead to significant weight loss.

“The core of an eating disorder treatment is establishing a strong patient/dietician
relationship as well as connecting with the family and support system.
It is about building trust, mutual understanding, cooperation, acceptance,
and providing genuine care and attention.”
