What you'll learn

Eating disorders are a group of serious and fatal illnesses that are associated with severe disturbances in eating behaviour. Preoccupation with food, body weight, and shape may signal an eating disorder. This group includes anorexia nervosa (restricted eating), bulimia nervosa (binge-eating followed by purging), and binge-eating disorder (uncontrolled eating). These are thought to be caused due to a complex interaction of genetic, behavioural, psychological, and social factors.read more »»
