At the mention of the phrase “eating disorder”, many may think of a teenage girl facing anorexia as a means to be ultra thin for the latest fashion. The truth is that eating disorders are complex in nature, and their roots go much deeper emotionally and psychologically than many realize. In addition, eating disorders affect much more of the population than once believed. In fact, the spectrum of eating disorders includes not only anorexia and bulimia, but also binge eating and compulsive overeating. As such, teens and adults, male and female, may find themselves battling the low self esteem and emotional triggers which lead to an eating disorder. With this in mind, Costa Rica New Hope has expanded its therapeutic services to include the treatment of eating disorders.
