What you can do about your atypical eating disorder

• Understand that while you made the choice to start restricting, bingeing, purging or overeating, you did not choose to have an atypical eating disorder. When you have an atypical eating disorder, your brain is functioning abnormally and your need to restrict the types and amounts of food you eat becomes overwhelming. We believe that atypical eating disorders are an illness, not a character flaw – and as such, you need and deserve the same medical treatment that anyone else with a chronic illness would receive.
• Find a treatment programme, like Life Works, that also looks beyond your eating behaviours. An effective programme will look at your behaviours around food but importantly, it will also examine and address the underlying psychological factors that influence these behaviours. Atypical eating disorders are not just about food or eating behaviours – they are a life-threatening, psychiatric illness that is much more serious than just the eating problems they produce.
• Find a treatment programme, like Life Works, that includes assessment and treatment for any other pre-existing or co-occurring mental health issues, behavioural health issues or mood disorders - for example, anxiety or depression – that may also be affecting you. These issues often exist alongside a person’s atypical eating and if left untreated, they can impair the effectiveness of treatment, so it’s essential that they are identified and addressed as part of your treatment programme.
