Body Image/Eating Disorders >> Healthy Eating

Eating Disorders can be life-threatening and the dynamics that can lead one to develop such a problem are very complex. Our society rewards the look of a certain body image and many children receive the message early in life that you are more accepted if you look a certain way. However, societal messages by themselves do not necessarily make one have a poor body image or have an eating disorder. There are many related factors that need to be explored. Therefore, treatment needs to be multi-faceted.

At PsychArizona, a thorough assessment will be conducted unless one is coming for services immediately upon being released from an inpatient program. Referrals will be made for related services such as medication management and nutrition education or monitoring. We will then focus on cognitive-behavioral methods to manage life-threatening behaviors and then explore and examine the many facets related to the cycle of destructive eating, exercise, and purging. The end goal is to accomplish long-term balance of healthy exercise and fitness, healthy eating, and healthy self-image.
