Eating disorders
Eating disorders can affect anyone of any age, gender, or background. There are many types of eating disorder, ranging from anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating disorder to body dysmorphia and pica.
There are number of reasons why an eating disorder may develop, and you can't always tell if someone has one by simply looking at them.
