by | Mar 10, 2025 | Eating Disorders

Food should be a source of nourishment and joy, but for those battling eating disorders, it often becomes a relentless struggle that consumes the mind, body, and soul. The effects reach beyond meals, they disrupt health, relationships, and a sense of self. 

If you or someone you love feels trapped by disordered eating patterns, know that recovery is possible. Eating disorder treatment in Brick and Livingston offers the support and tools needed to rebuild a healthier relationship with food, body, and mind. GenPsych’s treatment centers in Brick and Livingston, New Jersey, specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals struggling with eating disorders. 

Conditions We Treat 

Our Eating Disorder Treatment Program is designed to address a range of eating disorders, including: 

  • Anorexia Nervosa: Intense fear of gaining weight, severe restriction of food intake, and distorted body image. 
  • Bulimia Nervosa: Repeated cycles of binge eating followed by purging to prevent weight gain. 
  • Binge Eating Disorder: Episodes of excessive eating accompanied by feelings of guilt, shame, or loss of control. 
  • Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Limited food intake without concerns about weight or body shape. 
  • Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders.

 

Whether the challenges are physical, psychological, or emotional, we tailor treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs. 

How to Recognize the Signs of an Eating Disorder 

Identifying an eating disorder in yourself or someone you care about can be challenging, as these conditions often involve secrecy and shame. Look out for these warning signs: 

Physical Symptoms: 

  • Noticeable weight changes (either loss or gain). 
  • Fatigue, dizziness, or fainting. 
  • Gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating or stomach pain. 
  • Disrupted menstrual cycles. 

 

Emotional and Behavioral Symptoms: 

  • Preoccupation with food, calories, or dieting. 
  • Avoiding meals or specific foods. 
  • Feeling guilty after eating or engaging in compensatory behaviors like over-exercising. 
  • Withdrawal from social situations, especially those involving food. 

 

Warning Signs in Children or Adolescents: 

  • Unexplained mood swings or irritability. 
  • Sudden changes in eating habits. 
  • Frequent excuses to avoid meals.
