Discussion of treatments for Disordered Eating:
While disordered eating can lead to weight loss
or weight gain and to certain nutritional problems, it rarely
requires in depth professional attention. On the other hand,
disordered eating may develop into an eating disorder. If disordered
eating becomes sustained, distressing, or begins to interfere with
everyday activities, then it may require professional evaluation.
