Eating Disorders

What is an Eating Disorder?

Eating disorders are severe mental health challenges identified by unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and weight. These disorders exceed simple dieting or overeating, featuring extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviours concerning weight and food issues.

Eating disorders can affect people from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, or background. The most common disorders include Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder. Although each has distinct symptoms and health risks, they all share a significant impact on physical health, emotional well-being, and everyday living.


Signs and symptoms

Eating Disorders can affect everyone in different ways and have many symptoms. Here are some common symptoms to look out for:

Spending lots of time worrying about your body, weight and appearance.

Lying about how much you’ve eaten or when you last ate.

Avoid socialising when you think food is involved.

Having strict habits or routines around food.

Feeling worthless, low mood, symptoms of depression or anxiety.

Your weight being very high or very low for someone of your age and height.

Take note:
Not everyone experiences eating disorders the same, and symptoms will vary. 
How long these symptoms last, their intensity, and how much they impact your life can also be very different from someone else.

Why Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?

Extensive research has shown that Ketamine can lead to remission in individuals suffering from eating disorders, particularly those who are ‘treatment-resistant’—meaning they have not found relief through other therapies or medication. Ketamine supports forming new neural connections in the brain, promoting flexible thinking.

Eating disorders often trap individuals in rigid thinking patterns, making it difficult for them to adjust their way of thinking. Ketamine’s ability to increase flexible thinking enables people to adopt new perspectives and see things in a fresh, transformative way. When combined with psychotherapy, this newfound flexibility allows individuals, with the guidance of their therapist, to understand and modify their thought patterns, ultimately improving their mental health.


How does Ketamine-Assisted Therapy work for eating disorders?

Klearwell uses Ketamine-Assisted Therapy to help people with mental health problems such as addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders.

Ketamine allows your brain to react differently, which, in a clinical environment, paired with talking therapy from professionals, gives you the mental space to overcome what has held you back.

At Klearwell, experienced clinicians offer personalised treatment plans in a safe and supportive setting. The goal is to tackle the underlying causes of these mental health issues, leading to long-term positive changes and new opportunities for healing and recovery.
