About Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are complex and deeply personal struggles that disrupt an individual’s relationship with food, self-image, and emotional well-being. Conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder often stem from a combination of genetic predisposition, societal pressures, and emotional trauma, leading to extreme behaviors like restriction, purging, or compulsive overeating. These disorders take a severe toll—malnutrition can lead to heart complications, electrolyte imbalances, and organ damage, while the psychological effects of shame, obsession, and isolation deepen emotional distress.

At Rehabilitation Center of California, we understand the multifaceted nature of eating disorders, offering a compassionate and personalized approach to healing. Our mission is to help individuals rebuild a balanced, healthy relationship with food, foster self-acceptance, and reclaim a life of wellness and purpose.

Signs of an Eating Disorder

• Physical Symptoms – Significant weight loss, brittle hair, or irregular heartbeat

• Mental Preoccupation – Excessive focus on food, body size, or calorie counting

• Behavioral Patterns – Rituals such as food avoidance, hiding meals, or frequent trips to the bathroom after eating

• Emotional Instability – Low self-esteem, perfectionism, or mood swings

• Physical Distress – Dizziness, fatigue, or swollen glands

If you or someone you love is experiencing these signs, Rehabilitation Center of California is here to help. Our specialized treatment programs provide a structured, supportive path to recovery, addressing both the physical effects and emotional roots of eating disorders to foster lasting healing.
