Welcome to the Eating Disorders Channel
Eating disorders -- such as anorexia and bulimia -- are one of the main health issues that young women today face. A few of the most common symptoms of eating disorders include avoiding food (anorexia), vomiting to purge food from the body (bulimia), and compulsive overeating (binge-eating disorder). But did you know that eating disorders are on the rise around the world, not just in the United States? Or that hundreds of thousands of boys (not just girls) have eating disorders?
