Postponing the treatment does more harm than good. People suffering from eating disorders such as Bulimia, anorexia or even binge-eating disorder need to get themselves treated. These are emotional and mental illnesses which people try to overcome by eating a lot of food. Food that sends them in a euphoria and having too much or too less of it can lead to eating disorder. It requires to be treated as early as possible. People usually postpone these treatments due to many reasons such as lack of resources, the uncertainty of where to ask for help, afraid of a child leaving the house for treatment and so on. Eventually this delay in treatment leads to PTSD, OCD and substance abuse and addiction. It is important that the gap between the patients and their disorders need to be plugged and this can only be done once they are put in facilities which treat their disorders.
