Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are mental health conditions marked by detrimental attitudes toward food, body image, and weight. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are common types. Symptoms may include restrictive eating, bingeing, purging, or compulsive exercise, resulting in both physical and emotional turmoil. Treating eating disorders necessitates a comprehensive approach encompassing medical, nutritional, and psychological interventions to address the complex underlying factors and promote recovery.
