Overview
Atypical Patterns of Eating Behavior is a term used to refer to abnormal eating behavior that is outside of a person's usual eating patterns. This type of behavior can include skipping meals, binge eating, and eating in response to emotions. Atypical patterns of eating behavior can have significant physical, psychological, and social effects, particularly when left untreated. These behaviors can contribute to serious health issues, such as obesity, disordered eating, and an increased risk of developing eating disorders. Treatment can involve the help of an accredited eating disorder specialist, cognitive behavioural therapy, and/or changes in diet and nutrition. It is important to identify atypical patterns of eating behavior and seek appropriate treatment.
