If you think you may have an eating disorder, it’s crucial to consult a qualified medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. However, if you believe you or a loved one may be suffering from eating disorders, and are considering consulting a medical professional, also consider these questions:

  1. Am I preoccupied with food, dieting, and body size?
  2. Do I engage in secretive eating behaviors?
  3. Have I lost or gained a significant amount of weight recently without a medical reason?
  4. Do I feel anxious or guilty about eating?
  5. Am I avoiding meals or social situations involving food?
  6. Do I feel compelled to exercise excessively?
  7. Have there been changes in my menstrual cycle (for those applicable)?
  8. Am I experiencing physical symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or hair loss?
  9. Do I use food to cope with stress or emotional issues?
  10. Is my eating pattern affecting my social life, work, or physical health?

If you or a loved one identify with several of these questions, it may be a sign that you should seek professional advice.
