Understanding Eating Disorders In Kids & Teens.
Eating disorders can look different from one young person to another. Some common signs may include:
- Strict food rules or rituals around eating
- Rapid changes in weight
- Excessive exercise or preoccupation with body shape
- Skipping meals, binge eating or purging behaviours
- Withdrawal from friends or activities they once enjoyed
These behaviours can put significant strain on a young person’s body and mind. Therapy provides a safe space to address underlying struggles and begin the path toward healing.
