These include: binge eating, restricting, purging, obesity, unhealthy eating habits with improper nutrition and weight management concerns. Patients may be self referred or referred by inpatient programs including St. Joseph’s and Sheppard-Pratt Hospital. These patients often require outpatient follow up treatment.
Adolescents often experience significant pressure from peers with respect to eating patterns and body image.
