Eating Disorders Information
Eating disorders are psychological illnesses which have a negative impact on both physical and mental health. Extreme dieting, starvation, bingeing, purging, over exercising and poor body image perception are features of eating disorders, and they do not paint a pretty picture.
Many people suffer from anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder and related conditions, which can have devastating consequences for themselves and their families.
On the surface, eating disorders appear to be about food, or rather the misuse of food, but there are usually much more complex, emotional, unresolved issues underneath.
