Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that involve unhealthy eating habits and a preoccupation with food, body weight, and shape. Common types include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These disorders can lead to severe physical and emotional problems, affecting a person's overall well-being. People with eating disorders may experience distorted body image and engage in extreme behaviors to control their weight. Treatment often involves a combination of therapy, nutritional education, and medical support to help individuals develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. Early intervention is crucial for recovery.
