Does an eating disorder ean that someone is depressed?
No. The symptoms of an eating disorder such as starving, purging and binge eating will cause feelings of depression, fear or anxiety, but are not symptoms of another psychological disorder. This is natural because food and weight issues are impacting on someone’s ability to live a full and pleasurable life. These feelings often disappear when a person is properly nourished. Having said this, there is a higher probability of depression and other emotional disorders both in the families of people with eating problems, or in their own personal history.
