February 21-27 is National Eating Disorders Week

 

Eating disorders affect more than 10 million people in the United States.  Types of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge or compulsive eating.   More recently, there has been an emergence of new disorders of diabulemia and orthorexia as well as the coming together of eating disorder groups and obesity groups, as the two share similar issues. 

This week is national eating disorder awareness week.   For more information on eating disorders as well as tips on supporting a healthy body image and talking to your doctor if you struggle with food, visit this site: http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org. 

If you struggle with food related issues, there is help and hope out there, and we encourage you to talk to a friend or family member about helping you to bring up this difficult issues with your doctor.
