What is an eating disorder?

Eating disorders are complex and serious conditions that affect people from a variety of ages and backgrounds. They have a serious physical and emotional impact and may be life threatening in some cases.

Eating disorders may arise from a variety of different causes and while they sometimes begin with a preoccupation with food and weight they are often about much more than food.
