Online psychologist for Orthorexia
Please note: our sessions are held in Italian only.
Orthorexia is an obsession with 'healthy' eating, where diet becomes rigid, exclusionary, and a source of anxiety. While not an official DSM label, it is a growing problem therapy can address.
Signs not to ignore
- Increasingly rigid and restrictive dietary rules
- Anxiety or guilt when straying from the chosen diet
- Avoidance of specific foods or social situations involving food
- Constant thoughts about food 'purity' and quality
How online therapy can help
Therapy can help reduce dietary rigidity and food-related anxiety, restoring flexibility and peace of mind without losing focus on health.
