Eating Disorder

The prevalence of eating disorders may astound you. In America alone, there are approximately 7 million women and girls and 1 million men or boys who currently have an eating disorder. Eating disorders are described as conditions that affect a person’s eating habits and can range in severity from mild to life-threatening. The struggle to control food and behavior is what makes these disorders so difficult. Treatment based on the particular eating disorder may include therapy as well as an extended stay at a facility specializing in eating disorders.
