Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders often defy categorization and evolve over time. They may not neatly fit into the categories defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) or meet the requirements of insurance companies. Dr. Sarah Hewes specializes in working with individuals who have Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, or a combination of these disorders. Here's a breakdown of these conditions:

Anorexia

Characterized by restriction and an intense fear of weight gain despite being underweight. Binging and purging may be present in some cases.

Bulimia

Involves regular episodes of binging and purging, occurring at least once a week for three months. Purging can take various forms.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

Features recurrent episodes of binging at least once a week for three months, often accompanied by guilt and shame.

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

This disorder may manifest due to sensory issues or concerns about the consequences of eating, leading to energy and nutritional deficiencies.

Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)

Includes conditions like Atypical Anorexia, Bulimia with less frequent binging and purging, BED with less frequent binging, and Night Eating Syndrome.
