  • ABOUT Atypical Anorexia

What Is Atypical Anorexia?

Atypical anorexia refers to an eating disorder characterized by dangerous weight loss and distorted self-perception of body weight and shape. In the minds of most people, anorexia is associated with extreme weight loss and very thin bodies but this eating disorder can affect people whose weight is average and above average as well as individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Even when you weigh enough for your height, there are endless health complications atypical anorexia may lead to such as electrolyte balance disruption, gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular problems, and mental health issues.

  • FAQ'S

Atypical Anorexia FAQs

How is atypical anorexia different from anorexia nervosa, and how is it treated at Wellness Recovery Center?

The weight of the patient is the key difference between these two eating disorders – a person can have an average weight or be overweight and still exhibit the symptoms of anorexia such as severe weight loss and food restriction. We offer individual therapy to patients who want to strengthen their ability to overcome their emotional struggles, trauma-informed care to people whose trauma does not allow them to take care of their nutrition, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to individuals who want to tolerate stress more effectively.

What types of therapy are offered for atypical anorexia at your Orange County facility?

You and your therapist can figure out what therapy modality can facilitate your recovery – most patients benefit from psychiatric medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions.

Can nutritional counseling help with atypical anorexia recovery?

Knowing how to eat well and how your eating habits affect your health in the long run can play a pivotal role in the patient’s recovery – you can learn meal planning, portion control, and healthy eating patterns and incorporate these new habits long after your treatment is over.

How does Wellness Recovery Center’s staff support patients with atypical anorexia?

We believe in accessible and inclusive care – our staff treats patients with compassion and respect, chooses types of therapy based on the diagnosis of every individual, and gives every client an opportunity to enhance their health with evidence-based methods of treatment.

What are the steps to start treatment for atypical anorexia at your center?

You can contact us when it is convenient for you to discuss the upcoming treatment – after that, you can arrange an appointment and undergo an assessment to enable us to choose the appropriate course of treatment.
