EATING DISORDERS

There are three types of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder that can occur in teenagers, college students, or adults. All three have in common an intense concern with food and weight that prevents individuals who have these disorders from being able to live a full and enjoyable life.


Even though individuals with eating disorders focus on food and weight, the disorders themselves are actually not about food. Instead they are complex disorders that have roots in the biology, psychology, social, and cultural experiences of each person.
