Contact UsWhat Is Disordered Eating?
Disordered eating, also called an eating disorder, is a condition that causes an individual to approach food negatively. This can impact both your physical and mental wellness. It's important and perfectly normal to give focus to your diet; however, some people become so fixated on their weight that they start to limit food intake, throw up their food after eating, and develop other dangerous habits. At Good Day Psychiatry, we work diligently to help our patients manage their weight in a healthy manner, develop healthy eating habits, and more. We want you to be able to have a healthy relationship with food, your body, and your mental health. If you are struggling with an eating disorder in Hobbs, NM, Odessa, TX, or a surrounding area, contact Dr. Jessica Spiegelberg in Lubbock, TX or Longmont, CO to set up a consultation.
How Are Eating Disorders Treated?
There are a variety of eating disorders. Each of them has different symptoms. While it's most common for disordered eating to develop in younger years, a person can develop an eating disorder at any stage of life. Some of the common forms of disordered eating include:
- Anorexia (anorexia nervosa): Anorexia is characterized by a fear of weight gain or body dysmorphia (consistently worrying about flaws and body image).
- Bulimia: Individuals with bulimia will binge eat (overeat), then purge the food they just consumed.
- Binge eating disorder: Those with binge eating disorder will overeat and then feel ashamed about their eating habits.
- Orthorexia: This form of anorexia refers to an unhealthy obsession with nutrition so much so that the individual will become fixated on "healthy" eating to the point they experience stress and physical issues.
Disordered eating can develop as a result of emotional issues or life events. Therefore, our Lubbock, TX and Longmont, CO psychiatric teams will work with you to identify the cause of your disordered eating so we can treat your specific problem. Treatments for an eating disorder can include nutrition guidance, counseling, and more.
Good Day Psychiatry Reviews
My therapist referred me to Jessica at Good Day almost 2 years ago. It was my first time using a psychiatrist, although I have been to many therapists throughout my adult life. I am blessed to have found this doctor. She is compassionate, caring and she listens to what you have to say. Her staff is equally kind. It’s a safe place, if you know what I mean.
Honestly, was the best experience & beyond grateful that I was listened to & understood and would highly recommend!
I’m incredibly grateful to have found Jessica. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand me, diving into both my past and present experiences. Her patience and willingness to listen as I shared my struggles made a huge difference. Jessica provided a diagnosis that finally made me feel understood, and she educated me about it, which helped me realize I’m not alone—others feel this way too. Her calm, well-spoken manner and the cozy atmosphere of her office made it easy to feel comfortable. I also appreciate that she not only prescribed medication but recommended a therapist to support my treatment further. I genuinely look forward to my visits with her as we take the next steps on my journey to better mental health. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone seeking compassionate and insightful care.
Simply the best. Not a lot more to say. Just simply the best.
Jessica has been one of the best decisions I have made when it comes to my mental health. Her kind, proactive, and in depth approach have led me to a happy and healthier relationship with my mental health.
