What are eating disorders?

We all have different eating habits. There are a large number of “eating styles” which can allow us to stay healthy. However, there are some which are driven by an intense fear of becoming fat and which actually damages the person's health. These are called “eating disorders” and involve:

  • eating too much   or

  • eating too little    and/or

  • using harmful ways to get rid of calories.
