Eating disorders are complex conditions that involve an intense preoccupation with food and your body. They can affect people of any age, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
Eating disorder symptoms will vary depending on the type of eating disorder and individual, but the most common symptoms include:
- severely limiting food
- binge eating
- purging (by vomiting or taking laxatives)
- over-exercising
You can use the EAT-26 quiz to help you figure out if you might benefit from reaching out to a doctor or eating disorder specialist for an eating disorder. Only a healthcare professional can make an accurate diagnosis, and if needed, recommend a treatment plan that will fit you best.
