Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious illnesses that make food, the body's source of energy, seem like the enemy. The symptoms of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating disorder vary, but can include obsessive preoccupation with food, a compulsion to exercise, extreme calorie restriction and a distorted body perception.
