Unhealthy eating habits?
Hey, So, I'm 14 years old and have been underweight since I was about 4. My family doctor is always worried about it and keeps checking my thyroid, but so far, nothing has been found. For some time now, despite being underweight, I've often felt the need to lose weight. I often try to skip…
Do therapists go to therapy?

Hey you lovely While drying my hair, I was just wondering if therapists go to therapists. Be it privately or professionally. Dentists also go to dentists for check-ups. Is this handled the same way in mental health?
Am I the only one who was almost always in a bad mood and felt depressed during my training?
Or are there any of you who often felt bad-tempered and depressed during your training?
What kind of illness is this, my dears?

Where a person is euphoric for a year and then suddenly breaks up and says, "I don't want it." Leave me alone, you psycho, you bastard. What is this, my dears? Is this psychopathy? There was no physical or valid reason for this change in personality. So, the person took on a completely different personality…

Hi, I'm a 12-year-old girl and I don't think school is good for me. It was just summer vacation and I was doing well then (I'm depressed) and now that school starts again tomorrow I'm getting anxiety attacks about the school trip and strangely enough these thoughts only come when school is about to start…
Just no.
These are p s y c h i s c h e diseases. They’re playing in their head. A low weight is just a symptom. And no matter how much you care: I know you and you are 100% sick. I’m not a doctor, but I can tell you that. And your therapist should look for another job. That’s bullshit. Next time he says come back when you’re less afraid or what?

As previously said on the same question:
For a eating disorder, the BMI is secondary. The attitude to food and to the body and how to behave in terms of food is significant.
You can weigh 100 kilos and be mad or weigh 30 kilos and be mad. It is only simple to assign people to the optics of a disease, but whether one exists and if yes, which depends on the symptoms.
If your therapist has so little idea of the subject, change it or avoid this matter.
This is wrong in my knowledge because it is a purely psychological thing and is independent of the actual weight/BMI. Of course, it is not always physically dangerous, but to feel compulsion cannot eat or eat, can be present at any weight. However, this is not a classic anorexia or bulimia and is generally taken less seriously, but is ultimately the same. It’s funny that a therapist claims that.
Hello!
Just as it is not possible to recognize an alcoholic by the amount of alcohol he drinks, it is also not possible to recognize at BMI whether someone has an eating disorder.
Total
As sick Not applicable < 17.5
Also for 13 years?
There is a view that you could take these values, although they were originally intended for 14+.
And another one who thinks you should calculate body fat.
