About Eating Disorders
Eating disorders affect an estimated 9% of the U.S. population and span a range of conditions including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), and ARFID. They involve disturbances in eating behavior and body image that cause significant physical and psychological harm. Early intervention is critical — comprehensive treatment includes psychiatric care, therapy, and nutritional support.
Learn about eating disorders treatment and ask whether the available care is appropriate for your needs. Confirm your plan's benefits for the proposed service.
