| Eating disorders
can affect anyone and are extremely common, affecting millions
of people each year.
The main characteristic of an eating disorder
is the individual’s obsession with their weight. These
obsessive thoughts can lead to severe consequences in both
their health and their actions.
Research has shown that females are much
more likely to develop anorexia and bulimia than males, although
males can suffer from both eating disorders too.
However this is not the case with binge-eating
disorder, which seems to develop in almost as many males as
females.
