📖What is Eating Disorder?
Eating Disorder refers to a group of serious mental health conditions characterized by persistent disturbances in eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions, including conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These conditions involve an unhealthy preoccupation with food, body weight, and shape that significantly impacts physical health, emotional wellbeing, and daily functioning. Eating disorders can cause serious, sometimes life-threatening medical complications affecting the heart, digestive system, bones, and other organs. They most commonly begin during adolescence or young adulthood but can affect individuals of any age or gender.
