Should I go to the hospital for unhealthy eating habits?

If you have a Doctor or Primary Care Physician (PCP) I'd suggest seeing them first before a hospital visit. However if you think you are in danger, it could be a good idea to go to the hospital. In addition it also helps talking about your concerns to a friend(s) or even family. Now there's many different types of unhealthy eating habits so my main recommendation is to take a look at your diet and see if you're getting 3 essential things adequate, "protein, healthy fat and fiber". If you're consuming more calories you may want to cut that down as well. Lastly I would recommend exercise as well. Can't say it has correlation for you, but often times food is the most abused anxiety drug and exercise is the least utilized antidepressant.

Yes. At the very least tell an authority figure who'll take action and help you. Eating disorders are a messy and nasty business that is addicting and very painful emotionally and physically.

If you notice health problems such as potential getting of diabetes, then yes. If you feel sick and if your blood pressure is rising to the dangerous point, then go at the doctor and check your vital signs.

You should seek professional medical help for unhealthy eating habits, yes. Consider seeing a dietitian

Yes, it's really important to have check-ups or talk to your doctor if you are having unhealthy eating habits. If you feel uncomfortable talking to your doctor or family. Try to look for a trusted adult or someone that you really trust. When our body is not eating properly, we can't function the right way, either our brains. It's important to balance life and always remember to eat super healthy! I struggle with eating disorders and I know it can be really hard once in a while, but it is worth the trying! Most important when you can trust someone to talk about it or to you ask question like : how should I improve in this area? What should I eat at this time? Or what vitamins could I take in order to improve as well. Things like this can help too.

Yes! A hospital is a great place to get help. I don't mean go to the hospital simply because you ate a candy bar but it you are highly under-eating or over-eating then it's better to get help than do nothing.

There is no harm in going to a hospital, this can be a serious issue and it's better to go than to sit there and wonder!

It depends on what the unhealthy eating habit is. But for the most part, getting help for unhealthy eating habits is a good thing.

Having bad and unhealthy eating habits can be managed at home, however if the person is facing a problem in customizing a meal plan for themselves or they just can't follow a plan, they then can just refer to professional help to make a plan that can be followed, and have regular checkups with the doctor who gave them the meal plan to review their weight and their progress, or just to know what should be changed and what should be sustained. Hospitals are not bad places, they are just like markets and stores, we go there when we need to.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Especially during this pandemic we are in right now! Hospital emergency rooms should be reserve for people who are very sick and need immediate attention. In addition to this, going to the hospital right now for something that is not an urgent problem could expose you to the corona virus or worse, you could be a carrier and infect a sick person there who is weakened! We don't want that do we?? The best place for you to discuss your eating habits with is your doctor or a dietitian or other trusted medical profession . There are many good websites out there on healthy eating that are free. Please keep our hospital emergency rooms free for patients who really need them!

No. Hospital is for diseases.You can do it yourself. Please stop wasting the public health money for minor issues. It's not a crisis. Make small changes yourself in sure you're more than capable of go see a dietician. It's not a doctor's problem. They deal with illnesses and there are plenty of self help resources out there. The internet is a massive tool at your fingertips that you can utilise and obviously and you can make it into something you enjoy. Bad eating habits is like feeding a dog or a cat horse food - find your meal pack and stick to it. Otherwise you'll be a toddler high on sugar.

Unhealthy eating habits should be fixed as soon as possible as it can have a huge negative impact on you both mentally and physically. I would suggest you see your doctor or consult with a dietitian to figure out what is best suited to you regarding your unhealthy eating habits. Your doctor will refer you to the hospital if needs be and may contact someone to help regarding mental health and/or eating disorders if they think it is necessary to do so. Your doctor will point you in the right direction and can help provide support in finding dietitians, therapy or hospital treatment.

Yes you should take your diet plan from nutritionist Choose a person to whom you are afraid of little bit or whose words matters to you, choose him so that he keep an eye on you or you have to give answer to him what you had eaten in a day or night... It makes you to solve your eating problem in a well manner. Protect yourself from the places where your favorite food is placed... Make your goals give yourself reinforcement after doing a good or bad things Be grateful to what you have Be mindful Enjoy the present moments Take deep breath Do exercise regularly, go to gym Make your habits but good Interact with others , be socialize Talk to yourself ...

You have clearly identified that your eating habits may be unhealthy. In that case consulting with a medical practitioner or nutritionist may be useful. A diet needs to be well balanced. It should contain healthy nutrients and a proper amount of fats, carbohydrates and protein. If you have health issues such as anorexia, obesity or any other physical concerns your medical practitioner can help you to identify the cause. She can map out a diet for you which will provide you with the nutrition you need. On the other hand if you are having chest pain/ pressure, difficulty breathing, unmanageable pain, dizziness, hives, an acute injury, severe bleeding, weakness or slurred speech go to hospital right away. If you have skin changes like rashes, nausea and vomiting which won't relent or diarrhea lasting more than a few days and you can't see your primary care provider in a reasonable time frame then a visit to the hospital may be warranted.

It's hard to answer that question without knowing more about those circumstances, but right now my answer would be no. No, not yet. Unhealthy eating habits are probably not serious enough to require a hospital stay. Instead, I would recommend that you see your family doctor/GP/whoever your primary care physician is. Be honest with them and describe your unhealthy eating habits in as much detail as you can, then they should be able to provide you with the right support, this could include speaking to a therapist or admitting you to a hospital. In short, speak to your primary care provider and if hospital is needed they will send you there, otherwise don't potentially waste time and money.

You could go to the hospital, yes. You can also go to a therapist, school counselor, psychiatrist, anonymous group meetup possibly in your area, possibly other people or places too. But the hospital, sure that is an option, they may have some resources for you. They can also help you especially if your eating disorder has endangered you or you are in crisis. Anywhere is a good place to start seeking support, guidance and health. You have options. Importantly, good on you for wanting to seek help! You are not alone in this. You can do this! Be most well

I would consult your doctor to begin with. If your unhealthy habits are extreme or getting worse, then I would recommend going to the hospital. If you feel that your eating habits are causing you to look anemic or obese, then going to the hospital is the better choice. Sometimes unhealthy eating habits are just due to some people not having a big appetite. Going to the doctor would be the best choice if you feel like something is wrong, because it could be nothing or it could be something that needs to be looked at more in depth.

Definitely. Bad eating habits are no joke and can be devastating for your health. Both extremes. If you under eat for a long period of time you risk yourself for all kinds of illnesses like anemia, lack of sufficient nutrients, osteoporosis as well as dying. Alike the other extreme comes with it's own issues like high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes type 2, osteoporosis and dying. There are just a few tiny examples of the risks of eating disorders. If you know someone with an eating disorder, get them help before it's too late and they die early from something that could've been prevented if taken care early enough. It's never too late to try and get help.

It depends on the severity of your habits. If you have unhealthy eating habits that aren’t significantly impacting your life, then a visit to the hospital is most likely not necessary. If your habits are starting to become more severe, there are many therapeutic outpatient options to look into such as a therapist who specializes in eating habits, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). All of these services can be helpful for treating unhealthy eating habits, disordered eating behaviors, and eating disorders. If these habits have seriously compromised your physical health or are putting your body at serious risk, going to the hospital would most likely be the best option. They can stabilize your physical health and work on setting up a plan to recover from those unhealthy eating behaviors. However, if at any point you feel that you would benefit from inpatient support, you can absolutely visit the hospital. You know yourself and your needs better than anyone else.

I feel like the fact that you have considered it is such a good step. I say yes please go! They can help you overcome this and refer you to people who know how to help you. It's good to start as soon as possible.

You should always seek help for unhealthy eating habits. It is very serious and can cause a load of problems

Yes, if it is very serious I'd recommend you seek professional mental help as soon as possible and also a hospital.

Being aware of your eating habits is a good first step. If you're worried that you're eating unhealthily, seeking medical help from a licensed professional would be ideal, or something for you to consider.

Unhealthy eating habits can always be looked into by a medical professional. Deciding where or not a general practitioner or a hospital is based on your symptoms. Some things such as severe dehydration, fast/slow heart rate, low temperature and severe weakness are life threatening and should be seen immediately in an emergency room. Other traits such as brittle nails, loss of muscle, poor skin turgor are something that can be done in a general doctor setting. Since none of us are doctors, it is ALWAYS best to call your general doctor or head to the emergency room when you are in doubt! Its better to over treat something rather than wait or under treat it.

If you think you have a medical issue than maybe, but if not no. I would not waste your time going to the hospital for something such as this. You will just waste both your time and money. I would just make an effort to make better nutritional decisions.

You should visit the hospital if you feel especially unwell. If these eating habits have caused you problems both physically and mentally, it is advisable to visit the hospital.

It depends! Generally, when people go to hospital for unhealthy eating habits they are at a stage where they are very underweight and aren't eating/drinking enough to sustain them. If however you are at a normal weight but feel like your eating habits aren't very healthy, then there might be no immediate need to go to hospital. You may find that you can get some help either through friends, family, 7 Cups, therapists, doctors or dieticians/nutritionists. Either way I suggest your first step to be your GP! They will know you better than any of us can and can give you the best advice.

It honestly depends on what you mean by ‘unhealthy eating habits’ ; If you’re struggling with maintaining a healthy diet in terms of eating enough fruits and vegetables or overeating junk food, consulting your doctor or a registered dietitian would be a good start to getting on track. However, if you’re restricting caloric intake or excessively exercising to a degree that you’re hurting your physical or mental health, or engaging in purging or laxative use, consult your doctor immediately and ask for a psychiatric referral. These behaviors are trademarks of eating disorders and require special and immediate care to prevent further damage to your health.
