Eating disorders are severe mental health conditions that involve abnormal eating behaviours and a preoccupation with body image. These disorders often stem from a complex interaction of genetic, psychological, and social factors.
Anorexia is characterised by self-imposed starvation and excessive weight loss, often due to a distorted body image and an intense fear of gaining weight.
Symptoms may include:
Bulimia involves episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviours, such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or misuse of laxatives, to avoid weight gain.
Symptoms may include:
BED is characterised by binge eating without the compensatory behaviours seen in bulimia. People with this disorder often eat large amounts of food even when not hungry, followed by feelings of guilt or discomfort.
Symptoms may include:
Eating disorders can affect many aspects of an individual’s life, including emotional health, relationships, and physical well-being. Common signs include:

Registered dietitians work with patients to create a balanced eating plan and promote positive relationships with food. Nutritional counselling focuses on:
Eating disorders often affect family dynamics. We offer family therapy to improve communication, address relational issues, and provide loved ones with the tools to support the patient’s recovery.
Group therapy allows patients to share experiences, learn from others, and receive support in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Peer support is vital for building empathy, reducing isolation, and fostering recovery.
We integrate mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and other relaxation techniques to help patients reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and promote overall well-being. These therapies complement traditional treatments and help in the long-term management of the eating disorder.
At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we believe that true recovery from an eating disorder involves healing not just the body, but also the mind and emotions. Our holistic approach helps patients develop a healthy relationship with food, restore emotional balance, and build a supportive network for long-term recovery.
