Your Guide to Eating Disorders & Getting Help.

Sometimes, how we eat gets out of control – it’s often linked to big feelings or stress. These are called eating disorders, like anorexia or bulimia.

They’re serious health issues, not just about food. But the good news? You’re not alone, and we can help. Our GPs and healthcare team here at Anfield & Everton PCN get it. If you’re worried about your eating, or how you feel about your body, it’s really important to reach out.

Anorexia Nervosa: What to Know

With anorexia, someone might try to lose a lot of weight on purpose, sometimes so much it becomes dangerous. It’s an illness that can affect anyone. Getting help is key. Therapies like talking therapy (CBT) and sometimes medication can make a big difference.

Bulimia Nervosa: Understanding the Cycle

Bulimia often involves cycles of eating a lot (bingeing) then trying to get rid of the food (like being sick, over-exercising, or using laxatives). People with bulimia are usually a normal weight or even a bit heavier, but they still worry a lot about their body shape.
