Do I have an Eating Disorder?
Like so many disorders, individuals who suffer from anorexic or bulimic display a broad range of varying symptoms that may or may not fall within one specific diagnostic eating disorder category. Because of this, many individuals question whether they actually have an eating disorder and oftentimes allow this ambivalence to be a barrier to seeking treatment.
While the following is a descriptive overview of characteristics and symptoms typically associated with anorexia nervosa and bulimia, please know that eating disordered symptoms oftentimes overlap across categories and/or can present in an atypical manner.
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia Nervosa is typically characterized by three main diagnostic components:
- Eating very little food, which leads to a significantly low body weight
- Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, or ongoing behaviors that interfere with weight gain
- Distorted perception of one’s own body, weight, or shape; or sense of self strongly influenced by body image; or denial about severity of current low body weight
There are two subtypes of Anorexia:
- Restricting Type, in which significant weight loss is achieved through restricting, fasting, and/or excessive exercise
- Binge-Eating/Purging Type, in which a person engages in recurrent episodes of binge eating or purging behavior (e.g., self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives) while maintaining a significantly low weight.
Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa is typically characterized by three main components:
- Episodes of binge eating, which occur at least once a week for 3 months
- Use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors (e.g., self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives) to prevent weight gain at least once a week for 3 months
- Self-evaluation is significantly influenced by body shape and weight
Comprehensive Treatment of Eating Disorders
If you see yourself in any of the symptoms listed above, chances are you are struggling with some form of disordered eating that warrants a specialized assessment and possibly treatment.

of FULL and lasting recovery!
