Eating Disorders
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are serious and complex health issues with a long-lasting impact on an individual's physical and mental wellbeing.
They are characterized by an unhealthy relationship with food, body image, and intense emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to eating and weight.
Understanding that eating disorders are not a choice but serious mental health disorders requiring professional help is crucial for treatment.
They can stem from various factors, including genetic, biological, emotional, psychological, and socio-cultural influences. Individuals suffering from eating disorders often experience other health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and issues with concentration and memory.

Treatment of Eating Disorders at "Reversed"
Treatment usually involves a combination of psychological therapy, nutritional counseling, and, if necessary, pharmacological treatment. Psychological therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focuses on changing unhealthy thought and behavior patterns related to eating, body image, and weight. Nutritional counseling helps patients develop healthy eating habits and rebuild a proper relationship with food.
Post-treatment Support
Understanding that the treatment of eating disorders is a process that requires time is key to the success of therapy. Our Clinic offers post-treatment support, including support groups and further consultations, to give patients the best chance for lasting change and health.
The Role of Family and Loved Ones
Involving family and close friends in the treatment process is an important aspect of therapy. Education and workshops for families help them understand eating disorders and learn how to effectively support their loved ones in the healing process.
Eating disorders are serious issues that require a professional approach and support. Our clinic provides comprehensive and individually tailored care to help patients on their journey to recovery. Our goal is not only to restore healthy eating but also to assist in building a healthy self-image and improving overall wellbeing.
