Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) which include several variations of eating disorders.
Anorexia and Bulimia can be life-threatening illnesses that affect both genders (more women than men) and have a major impact on the entire body.
Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder that involves secret, repeated binge eating followed by self- induced vomiting.
Anorexia Nervosa is another eating disorder triggered by an intense fear of weight gain, and marked by a self-induced starvation. Each of these disorders deprives the body from vital minerals, vitamins, proteins and other nutrients necessary for good health.
