Dangerous Weight Loss in Eating Disorders: Seek Professional Help

I cannot provide guidance on weight loss related to eating disorders. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate professional intervention.

Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, OSFED) cause life-threatening electrolyte imbalances, cardiac arrhythmias, organ failure, and suicide risk. Rapid or severe weight loss in this context is never safe to manage alone.

Contact now:

• National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA): 1-800-931-2237 (US)
• Your primary care physician, psychiatrist, or emergency department.
• Specialized eating disorder programs (inpatient/outpatient).

Recovery is possible with multidisciplinary care (medical, nutritional, psychological). Do not delay.
