Eating Disorders are serious mental health conditions characterized by persistent disturbances in eating behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes related to food, body weight, or body shape. Common types include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders. These conditions can significantly affect physical health, emotional well-being, self-perception, and interpersonal functioning.

Individuals with eating disorders may experience intense preoccupation with food, weight, or body image, engage in restrictive or compulsive eating behaviors, and struggle with feelings of guilt, shame, or loss of control. Over time, these behaviors and thoughts can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall functioning. Eating disorders are complex and influenced by a combination of genetic, psychological, social, and environmental factors.
