Eating Disorders: A Guide for Teens Eating disorders affect millions of teens and young adults around the world. They're most common in cultures that focus on weight and body image and can affect people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. Extreme focus on appearance often leads to poor body image and unhealthy eating behaviors, which can turn into eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or a category called eating disorders not otherwise specified (ED-NOS). Eating disorders have serious health consequences and require treatment. Recovery is likely with the help of specially trained health care providers and a supportive family. We hope this guide will help you understand eating disorders, the different kinds of treatment, and the recovery process.
