When eating becomes torture
An eating disorder is a disturbance in the way a person deals with food and their relationship with their own body. There are various forms of eating disorders. These include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Eating disorders often occur as a combination of the various forms.
The illness is particularly insidious because it usually develops gradually and can often be hidden from friends and family for a very long time.
Eating disorders are a very complex clinical picture that is often closely related to mental, psychological, and neurological problems. At the LIMES Schlossklinik Bergisches Land, we treat the various eating disorders holistically and highly individually, addressing their origins in a targeted manner.
