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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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!
