Five Mental Health Challenges We Face Today and Strategies to Triumph Over Them Without A Hiccup

Eating Disorders and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT

Eating disorders, unfortunately, have been on the rise. Many factors may trigger them, including body image issues, societal pressures, or control issues, manifesting as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge-eating disorder.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a popular and successful strategy for overcoming eating disorders. It involves recognizing and addressing distorted thoughts and behaviors related to food, body image, and self-esteem.

Over sessions with a therapist, individuals gradually unlearn harmful behaviors and replace them with healthy coping mechanisms. CBT has found great success in rectifying the distorted thinking that fuels eating disorders.
