What is an eating disorder?

Eating disorders are serious health- and life-threatening physical disorders that usually stem from some underlying emotional cause. They usually fall into three categories: Anorexia Nervosa, or self-imposed starvation; Bulimia Nervosa, the repeated cycle of out-of-control eating followed by some form of purging; and Binge Eating Disorder, or compulsive overeating.
