| The
Eating Disorders Task Force of Indiana, founded in 1988, is a nonprofit
organization of multidisciplinary treatment professionals in the
area of eating disorders. We believe that eating disorders are complex,
multidimensional disorders that involve social-cultural, psychological,
medical and nutritional factors. They also reflect developmental
and family issues. We believe that treatment should be provided
by professionals trained and experienced in the area of eating disorders
and should address contributory factors in as many dimensions as
possible.
There are three types of eating disorders:
All
eating disorders involve a strong concern with body size and dieting,
and all involve using food to cope with life. People with these
disorders often have low self-esteem and feel out of control. Both
females and males of all ages experience eating disorders.
What
to look for in a good treatment program…
Eating
disorders are complicated and are caused by a combination of factors;
good treatment should address all of these factors.
