How Do You Identify Eating Disorders In Teenage Girls?
• Watch for signs of withdrawal. Someone with an eating disorder may withdraw from social activities. She may not want to be around groups of people, or any people at all. • Notice intense eating habits. The teen girl may eat a large amount of food at one time. She may even not eat anything else after that at all. This is particularly the case for people suffering from bulimia. [citation needed] • Watch for sudden changes in eating habits. Eating habits might change quickly and dramatically, or change slowly over time. This depends on the situation and it pays to be aware of either possibility. • Note mood changes. The girl’s mood may change, and she may suffer from extreme mood swings. Be careful, however, as teen years are always a cause for moodiness. • Look for excuses. • She may excuse themselves after eating to purge. • She may claim to not be hungry, or to have eaten earlier in the day. • Notice all dramatic weight changes. The girl will lose weight, and weight will keep droppin
