Conditions We Treat
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are serious but treatable psychiatric conditions. Our compassionate team provides integrated treatment addressing the psychological, behavioral, and medical dimensions of recovery.
Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders — including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder — are complex psychiatric conditions characterized by disturbances in eating behavior and body image. They affect people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and body types.
At Lyte Psychiatry, we take an integrated approach to eating disorder treatment. We address the psychiatric dimensions — including co-occurring anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking — while coordinating with medical providers and dietitians to ensure comprehensive care.
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, and body image
- Restricting food intake, skipping meals, or avoiding certain foods
- Binge eating episodes — eating large amounts in a short period with loss of control
- Purging behaviors — vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercise after eating
- Feeling out of control around food regardless of body size
- Extreme mood changes related to eating or body image
- Withdrawal from friends, family, and activities around food
