Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions characterized by abnormal or disturbed eating habits that negatively impact physical health, emotional well-being, and social functioning.

Eating disorders involve persistent disturbances in eating behavior and distorted thoughts about food, weight, and body image.
