Only a mental health professional can tell you whether you have an eating disorder or not – here is what they need to do:
Assess the physical state of the patient during a physical exam – there might be health complications caused by disordered eating that must be addressed with the same consideration their psychological issues deserve.
Conduct a thorough evaluation of the person in front of you – ask them about their eating behaviors and the emotions they feel when they cannot stick to a strict diet or vomit after a large meal – you need to confirm a specific diagnosis to be able to pick a treatment strategy.
Monitor the patient to observe their eating habits over a few days and weeks – it may be necessary to identify additional mental health problems they struggle with such as trichotillomania.
If your eating disorder developed as a result of severe stress and anxiety, you can master healthy coping mechanisms in DBT sessions, improve your emotional regulation, and accept

Nutritional care is a crucial component of treatment for binge-eating disorder - you will work with dieticians to develop healthy dietary habits and manage health
There are numerous reasons for someone to develop an eating disorder – if the person went through a traumatic experience that affected their self-image, was exposed to abuse or violence that took a toll on their psyche, or was bullied because of their weight or appearance, they may be diagnosed with an eating disorder during adulthood.
There are people who are more prone to the development of eating disorders – if someone in your family has been diagnosed with anorexia, it is more likely that you will exhibit the symptoms of this disorder later in life. In case you are suffering from mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it increases the risk of an eating disorder diagnosis.
The duration of eating disorder treatment varies from patient to patient – there are people who need to sign up for residential treatment, while others are able to recover within a few months of outpatient care. You can discuss the approximate timeline of treatment with your therapist and set therapy objectives in order to feel better within eight to ten weeks. For instance, ARFID eating disorder treatment does not have to take place in residential care – adhere to the treatment plan and attend counseling sessions for two or three months to see a major improvement in your symptoms.
While you get to decide when you undergo treatment for your eating disorder, do not wait for too long after you notice the first dangerous signs of anorexia or ARFID – early intervention may be critical, especially if you feel like you can easily hide your symptoms from other people. When you first get the urge to significantly restrict your food intake, induce vomiting, or eat a large amount of food in a short amount of time feeling as if you are no longer in control, do not hesitate to speak to a therapist to safeguard your health.
