Eating Disorders
Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are not just about food or weight — they are serious mental illnesses that can disrupt the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves about food, exercise, and their body. Many times, they emerge from a combination of emotional pain, societal pressure, and psychological.
As we often explain at Dr. Shetty’s Clinic, every eating disorder is a story, and it needs care, compassion, and understanding. We help people reconnect with food, their body, and themselves in a healthy relationship.
If you are looking for treatment for eating disorders or need support from anorexia nervosa specialists, you can find professional help here. Dr. Amulya Shetty, one of the best psychiatrists and counsellors in Mumbai, can help you out of it.
Recognizing the Signs of an Eating Disorder
Although each condition type appears different, common signs may include
- Obsessing about their weight, food, or the shape of their body
- Restrictive eating or skipping meals
- Indulging in binge eating or purging
- Over-exercising, feeling guilty after eating
- Stratification of personality: body image – self-esteem
- Fatigue, dizziness, digestive issues, and other physical symptoms
If any of these symptoms ring a bell, getting help as early as possible can help you avoid serious health complications and mental distress later.

Therapy and Emotional Healing
Forms of therapy like CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and Gestalt therapy will assist patients to identify what has triggered emotions, distorted thoughts, and how to handle them more healthily.

As and when appropriate, family members are advised to get involved to provide emotional support at home. We also provide nutritional support in partnership with allied professionals.
