Orthorexia TREATMENT IN SWITZERLAND

Eating healthy and nutritious food is a good habit to have and can improve physical and mental wellbeing.

But for some, it is hard to achieve the right balance in their diet and can evolve into a form of perfectionism and orthorexia - an eating disorder which centres on an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. Sufferers become fixated on what they eat and this can dominate their lives and affect wellbeing - of themselves and those around them. If you think you may be affected by orthorexia, please remember that expert care from professionals using evidence-backed techniques can help you address your problems with obsessive eating. Never forget that recovery is absolutely achievable.

WHAT EXACTLY IS ORTHOREXIA?

Orthorexia can begin with good intentions. A desire to eat healthily to improve wellbeing. But sometimes, this can evolve into obsessive behaviour and dominate one’s life.

We are constantly exposed with messages about eating healthily, particularly during the pandemic, and we have seen a marked increase in the numbers of health food shops on our streets, so it can be quite easy to miss or overlook symptoms associated with the disorder. It is commonly an eminently treatable psychological issue in which

food problems become so dominant that other aspects of life suffer neglect. In rare

cases, orthorexia can lead to severe consequences and even death through malnutrition.

A recent study found that 49% of participants who followed healthy eating accounts on Instagram met criteria for orthorexia and another revealed that over 25% of students at university experience symptoms of orthorexia.

But many who seek expert treatment will fully recover and repair their relationship with food, leading a healthy and happy life.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR:

Habitual checking of nutritional labels and ingredient lists
Increasing concern about the healthiness of ingredients
Rejection of an increasing number of food products
Inability to eat anything but a narrow group of “accepted” food products
Excessive interest in the healthiness of what others are eating
Experiencing serious distress when “safe” or “healthy” foods aren’t available
