Eating Disorder

• Eating disorders are characterised by
  an abnormal attitude towards food that causes
  someone to change their eating habits and
  behaviour. 
• A person with an eating disorder
  focuses excessively on weight and shape, leading
  them to make unhealthy choices about food with
  damaging results to their health.

  health. Eating disorders cause significant
  difficulties for those affected and their
  families. This includes social and relationship
  difficulties, mood difficulties such as
  depression and anxiety. Eating disorders also
  impact an individuals physical health, including
  bone health, energy levels, menstruation and
  internal organs such as the heart.

Anorexia Nervosa 

• Anorexia is diagnosed in people whose eating
  difficulties involve an extremely restricted
  energy intake, whose weight is below 85 of what
  is expected for their height and age, and whose
  self-evaluation is heavily influenced by how they
  feel about their shape and weight.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

• Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is commonly known by
  compulsive overeating or consuming abnormal
  amounts of food while feeling unable to stop and
  a loss of control. Men and women suffering from
  BED struggle with emotions of disgust and guilt
  and often have a related co-morbidity, such as
  depression or anxiety.

Bulimia

• Bulimia Nervosa , commonly called as bulimia.
  Bulimia is a serious mental illness. It can
  affect anyone of any age ,gender or background.
  People with bulimia are caught in a cycle of
  eating large quantities of food (called
  bingeing), and then trying to compensate for that
  overeating by vomiting, taking laxatives or
  diuretics, fasting, or exercising excessively
  (called purging).

Selective Eating Disorder (SED)

•  Selective eating comes under the umbrella of
  Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
  (ARFID). More than 50 of eating disorders fall
  below the threshold for diagnosis
  as Anorexia or Bulimia or Binge Eating
  Disorder and fall into this spectrum of
  diagnoses. It is far more than just being a fussy
  eater people with ARFID may have a phobia about
  certain foods, a very restricted diet, sensory
  aversions to certain tastes, textures or even
  swallowing.
