There are three primary
classifications of eating disorders: anorexia
nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. All three
disorders share the common characteristics of misuse of food and
preoccupation or concern regarding weight and appearance. The typical
age of onset is adolescents and young adulthood, however there are
increasing numbers of individuals who are much younger or older
than this average who are presenting with significant life impairing
issues (Steiner & Lock , 1998 ) |
