Concerned about an eating disorder? Here’s how we can help.

Are you concerned that you, your child, or a loved one may be showing signs of an eating disorder? These may include:

• Excessive exercise or obsession with body checking
• Noticeable weight loss or avoiding meals
• Excuses not to eat or frequent bathroom use after meals
• Finding hidden wrappers, food hoarding, or excessive calorie tracking
• Use of laxatives or complaints of stomach pain during meals
• Hair thinning, loss of menstrual cycle, or preoccupation with appearance
• Elimination of entire food groups (like carbs or fats)
• Switching to “clean eating” or “healthy eating” in an extreme way
• Wearing baggy clothes to hide weight changes
• Scarred knuckles, smell of vomit, or shame around eating

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this alone either.

Why Early Eating Disorder Treatment Matters

Whether you’re noticing early signs of disordered eating or have longstanding concerns, scheduling a professional eating disorder evaluation can offer clarity, support, and guidance. At McCaskill Family Services, we understand that eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that require early, compassionate intervention.

As a parent or caregiver, it’s normal to feel uncertain about how to bring up your concerns—especially with a teen or young adult. Many worry that talking about it might make things worse. But the truth is, early intervention can significantly reduce the risk of long-term medical complications and emotional distress. Our team is here to listen, not judge. We offer a safe, supportive space where we can explore your concerns, answer your questions, and help determine the best next steps for your family.

Disordered Eating in Everyday Life: Are You Struggling?

You don’t need to meet full diagnostic criteria for anorexia or bulimia to benefit from support. Many people struggle with disordered eating behaviors that impact their health, mood, and social life. Ask yourself:

• Do I feel upset when my eating or exercise routine is interrupted?
• Do I skip meals and then feel guilty for overeating later?
• Do I avoid social events that involve food?
• Do I obsess about food, body image, or weight loss, even if others say I’m “healthy”?
• Am I stuck in a cycle of chronic dieting, bingeing, or shame after eating?

These are all common struggles in a culture that promotes weight loss at all costs. But diet culture and food rules can lead to serious disordered eating patterns—and emotional support is just as important as nutritional guidance.

How Our Eating Disorder Specialists Can Help

At McCaskill Family Services, our Eating Disorders Program offers individualized care to children, teens, and adults of all genders. We treat a wide range of conditions, from anorexia nervosa and bulimia to ARFID, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and subclinical disordered eating. We offer:

• Eating disorder evaluations for all ages
• A multidisciplinary team of clinical psychologists and registered dietitians
• A nonjudgmental approach rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and the rejection of diet culture

If we feel you or your child would benefit from a higher level of care—such as IOP, PHP, or residential—we’ll walk you through that process and support you every step of the way.
