Adolescence is a vulnerable time, and many eating disorders—like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating—emerge during the teen years. Teens may begin using food to cope with anxiety, perfectionism, or peer pressure. The constant exposure to unrealistic body ideals on social media only makes things harder.

Warning signs include:

· Skipping meals or eating very little

· Obsessive calorie tracking or rigid food rules

· Excessive exercise routines

· Sudden weight changes

· Mood swings, isolation, or obsession with appearance

These behaviours may be dismissed as a “health kick” or teen phase, but they can indicate a serious issue. Physical symptoms—such as hair loss, missed periods, or feeling cold—may also appear.
