Here's How Therapists Should Deal With Eating Disorder Patients Whether you are an eating disorder therapist, a registered dietitian, eating disorder psychiatrist or a physician, it’s never that easy to deal with the behaviour of eating disorder patients. People who suffer from eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating, night eating syndrome and purging disorder always behave in a weird manner. They are hardly ready to accept the fact that they have a problem, which is why therapists, eating disorder psychiatrists and physicians often find it difficult to offer right solutions to them. Eating disorders are those mental illnesses in which patients are often seen with following abnormal eating patterns, especially because they are always scared of gaining weight. If a person has an eating disorder, they either consume excessive food frequently or eat less than the requirement of their body. Eating disorders have very harmful effects on the patients, and therefore, it becomes imperative for their family members and friends to ask them to seek the right treatment for recovering from their mental illnesses.
