Eating Disorder Intervention

An eating disorder intervention is necessary for those who have an issue with eating. This can either be anorexia, bulimia, or an EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Unspecified).

For any eating disorder, it’s vital that they get the help that they need. If a person refrains from getting the help they need for an eating disorder, they’ll only worsen to the point they require hospitalization. Each type of disorder can be brought on by different stimuli and will need different treatment regimens to help the person successfully get through their disorder.

Since there is a broad range of triggers that can affect someone with an eating disorder, the most common form of treatment seems to be working alongside a specialist to help counsel the individual.

How Does An Eating Disorder Occur?

Many people with eating disorders have deep emotional or psychological issues that stimulate their eating disorder. As far as psychological factors that can affect one’s eating disorder, there are many different things that can increase a person’s likelihood of obtaining a disorder.

To begin with, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, history of sexual or physical abuse, society pressures, and even medically-related issues. Because some medications have stimulative effects, this can also cause people to gain an eating disorder.

How Can I Get Help For My Loved One?

When an individual needs help with an eating disorder, it’s not generally recommended that a family stages an eating disorder intervention that is typical of someone abusing drug substances, for example.

People who have an issue with eating should undergo the help of professional rehabilitation specialists. We here at Intervention Services are able to connect with the right rehabilitation facility for your loved one’s needs.
