Each year, more than 5 million Americans are affected by serious and
often life-threatening eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa,
binge-eating, bulimia nervosa, compulsive eating, obesity, and pica.
Left untreated, the emotional, psychological and physical consequences
can be devastating, even fatal. Eating disorders know no class,
cultural, or gender boundaries and can affect men, women, adolescents,
and even children, from all walks of life.
However, eating disorders are not about dieting or vanity; they're
complex psychological disorders in which an individual's eating
patterns are developed—and then habitually maintained—in an attempt to
cope with other problems in their life.
