Eating disorders are serious and potentially life-threatening mental conditions that affect eating behavior, body image, and overall self-perception. They include disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, all characterized by a disturbed relationship with food and an inability to control food intake.
Their etiology is multifactorial, involving psychological factors, biological vulnerabilities, and sociocultural influences. Eating disorders are often accompanied by serious physical complications, such as metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalances, and cardiovascular strain, making close medical supervision essential.
At Marieva Medcare, the treatment of eating disorders is based on an interdisciplinary and holistic care model. Psychotherapy is the central axis of the intervention, complemented by nutritional guidance, medical supervision, and, where necessary, supportive medical treatments.
The therapeutic approach focuses on:
- Restoring a healthy relationship with food and the body
- Addressing the deeper psychological mechanisms that maintain the disorder
