Eating Disorders
In a nation where thinness is too often equated with physical attractiveness, success, and happiness, nearly everyone has dealt with issues regarding the effect their weight and body shape can have on their self-image. However, eating disorders are not about dieting or vanity; they're complex psychological disorders in which an individual's eating patterns are developed — and then habitually maintained — in an attempt to cope with other problems.
Treatments
The longer abnormal eating behaviors persist, the more difficult it can be to overcome eating disorders and their effects on the body. Many treatment plans are comprehensive due to the complex interaction of emotional and psychological problems in eating disorders.
The first course of action should be to aggressively seek help from a physician to diagnose and immediately treat any physical problems.

But, as is the case with many serious illnesses, the devastation of eating disorders also impacts parents, children, spouses, and others who care for or depend upon the afflicted individual.
As with problems such as depression or drug addiction, the first step toward a healthier future involves acknowledging that a problem exists – and that the problem is a valid medical condition, not an indication of a personal weakness or a failure of will.
