Know the Signs

Is it an eating disorder?

Eating disorders look different for everyone. They don’t discriminate by age, gender, body size, or background. If something feels wrong, that matters — and we can help you understand what it means.

  • Preoccupation with food, weight, or body image
  • Restricting, bingeing, purging, or avoiding food
  • Intense fear of weight gain or distorted body image
  • Withdrawing from social situations involving food
  • Physical symptoms: fatigue, hair loss, GI issues, fainting
  • Extreme selectivity or avoidance of certain foods (ARFID)
