Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can affect anyone; regardless of gender, age or weight. An eating disorder is a mental health condition where you use the control of food to cope with feelings and other situations. An eating disorder is diagnosed based on your own eating patterns and other tests your doctor will run. There are many different types of eating disorders.
