A lot of people, especially young girls, worry a lot about their weight and shape. In some cases, this worry reaches a point that it turns into a disorder. Many young people and children, most of whom are not even overweight to begin with, develop a desire to be thinner. The approach that they take for this is that of excessive dieting and skipping meals. When these worries turn into an obsession, the outcome is the onset of a serious eating disorder that requires adequate and effective eating disorder treatment in Abu Dhabi and
elsewhere.
Two of the most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. People suffering from anorexia nervosa constantly worry about gaining weight and eat very little. In girls, this leads to them losing a lot of weight, and an irregular menstrual cycle. On the other hand, patients of bulimia nervosa having
alternating episodes of eating next to nothing, and suddenly binging on food. To control their weight, they
succumb to vomiting and taking laxatives.
At the British Neurology & Psychiatry Center, we offer psychotherapy and counselling, including family and
cognitive behavioral therapy, to treat eating disorders. We boast of a team of highly qualified and certified
therapists with years of experience to their credit. The first step towards treatment involves our experts
acquiring detailed insight into the feelings and thoughts of their patients. This is done so as to determine the
issues that triggered the problem, and the steps required to treat them. As such, our therapists are focused
on helping their patients cope with their difficulties in an efficient manner, thereby rebuilding their selfesteem.
