  • Inaccurate perception of body shape and weight

Health problems caused by anorexia may include abnormal heartbeat, infertility, risk of heart failure and disease, menstrual cycle disruptions, osteoporosis, kidney damage, low white blood cell counts, low heart rate, low blood pressure, endocrine disruptions, anemia, and death.

Bulimia Nervosa Diagnostics:

  • Repeated binge eating defined by:
    • Consuming more food in a specific time period than others
    • Losing control over food intake
  • Attempting to offset binge eating through vomiting, extreme fasting, laxative and diuretic misuse, and extreme exercising

★★★★★
I have learned so much about myself! My therapist has given me so many tools to help manage my anxiety and depression. The daily heaviness of life has been replaced with confidence, energy, and a smile. None of which would have been possible before therapy began with Ann Archer. Thriveworks offered me the ability to afford Therapy and I would recommend both my therapist and Thriveworks to anyone looking for Therapy.
