I think it depends on multiple factors. Is your health in danger because of your eating habits? Have they caused you significant emotional distress, are they taking over your life? Any of these would be a good reason to go but it's up to you. I have been to the hospital for anorexia and it only helped me get physically health, it didn't help the mental part of an eating disorder. It also depends on the type of eating habits. Bringing doesn't need to be hospitalized but starving or purging might. But if you believe it will help then go for it!

There are different levels of unhealthy eating habits, and in my mind it would depend on what might happen if you don't go. Find someone who you can confide in to help you discuss the options and do what's best for your long term health.

If you think you are in danger, it could be a good idea to go to the hospital, or at least, talk about it with a close friend a family member. Eating well is a good way to be happy and having a healthy life in general. :)

Depends on what it is you consider "unhealthy". If it is affecting your energy, and you're losing/gaining weight drastically, I suggest seeing a specialist. You don't have to check in to a hospital unless it's life or death, nor do I suggest it. I was once in a crisis center, and it made me feel worse. I think you should seek out help outside of a hospital, unless the issue is extremely severe.

It depends on how unhealthy or reoccurring the habits are. If, for example, you purge after eating and have been for a while, then it would be a good idea to get yourself checked out. However, if you've just skipped a meal or two, then you should be fine without going to the hospital.

You should maybe go to your parents first and see if they will be able to help, but if it gets to the absolute worst then you really should go to a hospital to regain your strength.

Unhealthy eating habits are because of triggers such as busy schedules, redundancy of junk food in your residential environment and even because of emotional trauma. I suggest you start by cleaning up your kitchen and replace junk with healthy options. Give yourself a time frame to stick to this schedule. If you notice visible changes because of this habit, continue on with it. Hospitals may provide you with the same advice in comprehensive detail and an added bill to pay.
