In our final blog of our mini series looking at and understanding co-occuring disorders, we take a look at the relationship between trauma and disordered eating and why processing past trauma is essential in order to live a life free of disordered eating and PTSD symptoms. With the right support, the journey towards healing is never impossible.
It’s hard to believe ten years has past since The London Centre for Eating Disorders and Body Image first threw open it’s doors. In this very special blog, our Founder and Clinical Director, Dr Bryony Bamford, celebrates and reflects on the past 10 years, what she has learnt personally, how far the clinic has come and the many thousands of clients who we’ve supported over this time. Thank you for being part of our journey!
In this blog, we focus on the intricate link between OCD and Eating Disorders: Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment. Understanding how and why these disorders co-occur is crucial to achieving long lasting recovery and improved mental wellbeing.
Many blogs at this time of year, focus on the sufferer. The London Centre wants to shine a light on all the families, carers and friends who have a loved one suffering with an Eating Disorder, both in terms of supporting their loved one, but also in terms of their own coping. The importance of caregiver and family support is gaining recognition within Eating Disorder services, however it remains an incredibly difficult road to navigate, and Christmas is by no means an exception
Eating disorders and major depressive disorder (MDD) are two mental health conditions that often co-occur and interact in complex ways. Understanding the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for these disorders is crucial for providing effective care to individuals who may be struggling. In this blog, we will explore the connection between eating disorders and MDD, their common signs and symptoms, and approaches to treatment.
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a common co-morbid condition observed in individuals with disordered eating. Understanding the signs, symptoms and treatment options is a significant step toward a holistic approach to wellness.
In the next series of blogs we will take a look at a number of co-morbidities including Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and PTSD, exploring the symptoms of each, how and why they may co-occur with disordered eating, and how treatment may need to be adjusted to address not only the eating disorder but the comorbidity as well.
