Overview

and Eating Disorders Adolescence is a period of physical, emotional, and cognitive transition and growth, during which people may become more susceptible to the development of eating disorders. Eating disorders are psychological disturbances marked by an obsession with food and body weight, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These conditions can have serious physical, emotional, and social consequences for adolescents. Early identification and intervention are key to successful treatment, and mental health professionals can provide effective treatment for these disorders. As such, it is important for parents, educators, and healthcare providers to be aware of the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in adolescents, as well as the available treatment options.
