Eating Disorders in Teens: Causes, Signs, and Support

About

Teens are at a complicated crossroads in life, gaining independence but often lacking the judgement to make adult decisions. Social and internal pressures they feel themselves , along with the rise in negative body image amplified by social media, can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth, which is perhaps why rates of disordered eating among children and adolescents are increasing. Early intervention is key in helping teens with eating issues, but often help can be hard to access. By understanding the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for teen eating disorders, you’ll be better equipped to get your teen the help they need.
