Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa And Compulsive Overeating
Eating disorders have become quite a well known problem, with millions of people affected. Eating disorders are a disease that is progressive and incurable and the same type of disease as any other addiction. The sufferer is trapped in a helpless cycle of obsessive and compulsive behavior and unable to break free of the need to escape feelings and control.
Eating disorders are more common than most people think – not everyone with an eating disorder appears to be skeletal, although this does happen in severe cases. Many people with eating disorders are not at death’s door and their lives are still relatively manageable, but because eating disorders are a disease that is progressive, the condition will worsen over time to a point where they will need help and their lives begin to fall apart.
