What They Are

Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect a person's relationship with food, eating, and body image, often rooted in psychological, emotional, and biological factors, not simply a matter of willpower or choice. The most common types include binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa, each with different patterns and characteristics.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, binge eating disorder, the most common eating disorder in the U.S., affects a meaningful portion of adults each year, and eating disorders overall have among the highest rates of co-occurring anxiety among mental health conditions studied. Eating disorders are treatable, real medical and psychological conditions, and recovery is possible with the right, individualized support.

Located in Phoenixville, we provide eating disorder treatment to individuals throughout Chester County and the greater Philadelphia region, including Pottstown, Malvern, Norristown, and surrounding communities.
