Understanding eating disorders

What it is, and what we look at

Eating disorders involve a disturbance in eating behaviour alongside intense preoccupation with weight, body shape or food. They are not lifestyle choices or phases. Anorexia nervosa carries one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric illness, through both medical complications and suicide, and physical consequences include heart rhythm disturbance, electrolyte imbalance, bone loss and infertility.

This needs to be said directly: eating disorders require a specialist team — psychiatry, psychological therapy and dietetic input, sometimes medical monitoring or inpatient care. Homeopathic treatment is not an appropriate primary treatment and should never delay referral. Where a patient is already under specialist care, supportive treatment for sleep, digestion and anxiety can be given alongside.

Symptoms

You may recognise these

Significant weight loss, or marked weight fluctuation
Preoccupation with food, calories, weight or body shape
Restricting food, skipping meals or avoiding eating with others
Binge eating, often in secret
Vomiting after meals, or misuse of laxatives or diet pills
Periods stopping, dizziness, hair thinning and feeling cold

Causes & triggers

What tends to be behind it

  • Genetic predisposition and family history
  • Perfectionism, anxiety and low self-esteem
  • Social and media pressure around body image
  • Dieting, which frequently precedes onset
  • Trauma, bullying or major life transition

When to see a doctor promptly

Homeopathic treatment is not the right first step for these. Seek medical assessment if:

  • There is fainting, chest pain, palpitations or severe weakness — seek emergency care
  • There are thoughts of self-harm — seek help the same day, or call Tele-MANAS on 14416
  • There is rapid weight loss, vomiting after meals, or periods have stopped

How we work

Our approach at the clinic

Individualised prescribing

Homeopathy selects a remedy for the person, not only the diagnosis. Two patients with the same condition often receive different remedies.

Detailed case taking

Your first visit covers medical history, family history, current medication, diet, sleep and stress — all of it informs the prescription.

Works alongside your doctor

We never ask you to stop prescribed medication on your own. Any change is made gradually and in consultation with your treating physician.

Common questions

Asked before the first visit

It is not an appropriate primary treatment, and we will say so. Eating disorders need psychiatric and psychological care with dietetic support, and anorexia in particular can be medically dangerous. If you come to us with these symptoms, our role is to make sure you reach the right specialist quickly.

Talk to a doctor about your case

Bring your reports and current prescriptions. The first consultation is a full case assessment, and you will be told plainly if another specialist is the better route.
