Eating Disorders
What is an eating disorder?
Eating disorders are complex and serious conditions that affect people from a variety of ages and backgrounds. They have a serious physical and emotional impact and may be life threatening in some cases.
Eating disorders may arise from a variety of different causes and while they sometimes begin with a preoccupation with food and weight they are often about much more than food.
All eating disorders require professional treatment. The earlier a person with an eating disorder seeks treatment, the greater the likelihood of physical and emotional recovery. |
