Recognizing the signs of eating disorders early can make a significant difference in recovery. Eating disorders often manifest through a combination of physical, behavioral and emotional changes. Physically, individuals may experience sudden weight loss or gain, frequent stomach issues, dizziness, fatigue or changes in hair and skin health. Behaviorally, they may exhibit extreme dieting, binge eating, secretive eating or compulsive exercise. Skipping meals, avoiding social situations involving food, or showing rigid food rules are common red flags. Emotionally, a person might show low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, irritability or preoccupation with body image. Changes in mood, withdrawal from friends and family or denial about eating habits can also indicate concern. It’s important to remember that not all signs appear at once and even subtle changes deserve attention. Early recognition and professional support, such as consultation with nutritionists, therapists or medical professionals, are key steps toward effective recovery.
