Eating disorders are complex mental health
conditions characterized by abnormal eating habits and severe distress about
body weight or shape. The most common types include anorexia nervosa, bulimia
nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Anorexia involves severe food restriction
and an intense fear of gaining weight, leading to dangerously low body weight.
Bulimia involves episodes of binge eating followed by behaviors such as
self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or fasting to prevent weight gain.
Binge-eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of uncontrollable overeating
without purging behaviors. Eating disorders can have serious physical health
consequences, including malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, and heart
problems, as well as profound psychological effects such as depression,
anxiety, and social isolation. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary
approach, including medical monitoring, nutritional counseling, therapy to
address underlying psychological issues, and support groups. Early intervention
is crucial for improving outcomes and preventing long-term complications.
