Eating, feeding, and body image difficulties can affect people across all ages, genders, and backgrounds. These concerns are often complex and are not solely about food or eating behaviours.
Difficulties may be associated with underlying psychological factors such as anxiety, perfectionism, emotional distress, or difficulties with self-esteem and body image. Treatment typically considers these broader contributing factors as part of a comprehensive understanding of the person’s experiences.
Recovery is possible. Evidence-based psychological approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Family-Based Therapy (FBT), and Schema Therapy, may support individuals in developing a more balanced and sustainable relationship with food, eating, and body image.
