What is the prognosis for binge eating disorder?

Answer 1

Death is possible if anorexia is left untreated.

Answer 2

Most people with anorexia will live and become healthy once again. With treatment, anorexia sufferers can learn to eat right again and gain back a healthy lifestyle. Symptoms will gradually go away as the individual gets better. Some that happen quickly or relatively soon once treatment begins could be more moisture into the skin, possibly weight gain, healthier organ function, and better mental health. The grwoing back or restoration of hair could take a few months or even up to a year. When treatment is delayed too long, the individual refuses to partake in any treatment, or treatment never occurs at all, this results in roughly 20% of anorexia sufferers to face life-threatening health problems and can even end up being fatal. (This number is not exact, just an estimate some researchers believe. It also includes individuals who relapse, too.)

Answer 3

The outcome of having had anorexia is long term as opposed to short term. Later in life people that have had anorexia have increased the risk of having disorders/diseases like osteoporosis. People that have bodies in starvation mode, have extreme calcium deficiencies. Therefore the body will pull calcium from the teeth, and your bones to stay alive. If you are recovering from anorexia, or are recovered I would suggest visiting a dietician for help with a meal plan that will give you the essential nutrients that you need to help your body recover.

Answer 4

The prognosis for a binge eating disorder is very good. Almost no one with this diosrder will die. Health complications can arise if weight gain happens on a large scale, but binge eating is one of the easiest eating disorders to find treatment for and to recover from.
