Research Notes on Eating Disorders
People with eating disorders often have a preoccupation with weight that results in severe disturbances in eating and other behaviors. Doctors are unsure of the cause of eating disorders, but say that genetics, family behavior, and culture can play a role. Treatment for eating disorders may include nutrition education, psychotherapy, family counseling and medications.
Fast Facts:
- The two most common types of eating disorders are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia.
- Some complications may include heart disease, depression, digestive problems, tooth decay, ruptured esophagus, and death.
- Family dining habits and enforcing a healthy body image can be good ways to prevent an eating disorder.
