Understanding eating disorders in children and teens

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that affect how children relate to food, body image, and control. They include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, and often co-occur with anxiety, depression, or self-harm. These challenges can deeply impact both emotional and physical health. Early, compassionate intervention can support long-term healing and self-worth.

Warning signs of eating disorders in kids and teens

Be alert for changes like rapid weight loss or gain, skipping meals, extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or food rituals. Emotional signs may include anxiety, mood swings, irritability, or social withdrawal. Kids may hide food, eat in secret, or develop intense fears around weight or appearance. Spotting symptoms early is key to preventing deeper health complications.
